Answer

$21|x|-7\sqrt{5x}+15\sqrt{x}-5\sqrt{5}$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)(c+d)=ab+ad+bc+bd$ or the FOIL Method, the expression $ \left( 7\sqrt{x}+5 \right)\left( 3\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{5} \right) $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} 7\sqrt{x}\left( 3\sqrt{x} \right)+7\sqrt{x}\left( -\sqrt{5} \right)+5\left( 3\sqrt{x} \right)+5\left( -\sqrt{5} \right) \\\\= 21\sqrt{x^2}-7\sqrt{5x}+15\sqrt{x}-5\sqrt{5} \\\\= 21|x|-7\sqrt{5x}+15\sqrt{x}-5\sqrt{5} .\end{array}
