Answer

$-14+12\sqrt{3w}+6w$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $\Rightarrow (7+\sqrt{3w})(-2+\sqrt{12w})$ Use FOIL method. $\Rightarrow -14+7\sqrt{12w}-2\sqrt{3w}+\sqrt{36w^2}$ Factor the radicand as perfect square. $\Rightarrow -14+7\sqrt{4\cdot 3w}-2\sqrt{3w}+\sqrt{36w^2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -14+7\cdot 2\sqrt{3w}-2\sqrt{3w}+6w$ $\Rightarrow -14+14\sqrt{3w}-2\sqrt{3w}+6w$ Add like terms. $\Rightarrow -14+12\sqrt{3w}+6w$.
