Answer

$\sqrt{21}-\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{35}+\sqrt{5}$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd$ or the FOIL Method and the properties of radicals, the expression $ \left( \sqrt{3}-\sqrt{5} \right)\left( \sqrt{7}-1 \right) $ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l} \sqrt{3}(\sqrt{7})+\sqrt{3}(-1)-\sqrt{5}(\sqrt{7})-\sqrt{5}(-1) \\\\= \sqrt{21}-\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{35}+\sqrt{5} .\end{array}
