Answer

$31-19\sqrt{3}$

Work Step by Step

Using the FOIL Method which is given by $(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd,$ then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (2-\sqrt{3})(5-7\sqrt{3}) \\\\= 2(5)+2(-7\sqrt{3})-\sqrt{3}(5)-\sqrt{3}(-7\sqrt{3}) \\\\= 10-14\sqrt{3}-5\sqrt{3}+7(3) \\\\= 10-14\sqrt{3}-5\sqrt{3}+21 \\\\= 31-19\sqrt{3} .\end{array}
