You can do this with foil
F(which is the first term of both factors): 4*sqrt(7)
O(outside terms of both factors first and last) 4*sqrt(2)
I (Inside terms 2nd and 3rd) = - sqrt(3) sqrt(7) = - sqrt(21)
L (Last term in each of the factors) - sqrt(3)*sqrt(2) = - sqrt(6)

Combine terms: 4*sqrt(7) + 4*sqrt(2) - sqrt(21) - sqrt(6) <<<< answer.
