Answer

$\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{35}+\sqrt {21}}$

Work Step by Step

Simplify. $ \dfrac{\sqrt 7}{\sqrt 5+\sqrt 3}$ Now, $\dfrac{\sqrt 7}{\sqrt 5+\sqrt 3}=\dfrac{\sqrt 7}{\sqrt 5+\sqrt 3} \times \dfrac{\sqrt 7}{\sqrt 7}$ or, $=\dfrac{(\sqrt7)^2}{\sqrt 7(\sqrt 5+\sqrt 3)}$ $\implies \dfrac{7}{\sqrt{35}+\sqrt {21}}$
