Answer

$\dfrac{\sqrt{35}-\sqrt{21}}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Simplify. $\dfrac{\sqrt7}{\sqrt5+\sqrt3}$ Now, $\dfrac{\sqrt7}{\sqrt5+\sqrt3}=\dfrac{\sqrt7(\sqrt5-\sqrt3)}{(\sqrt5+\sqrt3)(\sqrt5-\sqrt3)}$ or, $=\dfrac{\sqrt7\sqrt5-\sqrt7\sqrt3)}{(\sqrt5)^2-(\sqrt3)^2}$ or, $=\dfrac{\sqrt{35}-\sqrt{21}}{2}$
