$14-19\sqrt{x}-3x$

Using the FOIL Method which is given by $(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd,$ the given expression is equivalent to\begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (7+\sqrt{x})(2-3\sqrt{x}) \\\\= 7(2)+7(-3\sqrt{x})+\sqrt{x}(2)+\sqrt{x}(-3\sqrt{x}) \\\\= 14-21\sqrt{x}+2\sqrt{x}-3(\sqrt{x})^2 \\\\= 14-21\sqrt{x}+2\sqrt{x}-3x \\\\= 14-19\sqrt{x}-3x .\end{array}
