Answer:

See Below.

Explanation:

Square roots deal with multiplication, so if you can simplify to an even square, you can pull out the integer.

sqrt(75) = sqrt(25×3) = sqrt(25)×sqrt(3) = 5×sqrt(3)

((50 is 25×2, so same 5, but with sqrt(2), not 3))

So...

5 / (5×sqrt(3) - 5×sqrt(2)) = 5 / (5×(sqrt(3) - sqrt(2)))

5's cancel out

1 / (sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))

If you multiply top and bottom by (sqrt(3) + sqrt(2)) (which doesn't technically alter anything, since anything over itself is just 1), you get...

(sqrt(3) + sqrt(2)) / ((sqrt(3))^2 - (sqrt(2))^2 + (sqrt(3)×sqrt(2)) - (sqrt(2)×sqrt(3)))

Which simplifies to...

(sqrt(3) + sqrt(2)) / (3 - 2) = (sqrt(3) + sqrt(2)) / 1 = sqrt(3) + sqrt(2)
