[tex]\frac{4}{2+\sqrt3+\sqrt7}\cdot\frac{2-(\sqrt3+\sqrt7)}{2-(\sqrt3+\sqrt7)}=\frac{8-4\sqrt3-4\sqrt7}{2^2-(\sqrt3+\sqrt7)^2}=\frac{8-4\sqrt3-4\sqrt7}{4-3-2\sqrt{3\cdot7}-7}\\\\=\frac{8-4\sqrt3-4\sqrt7}{-6-2\sqrt{21}}=\frac{-2(2\sqrt3+2\sqrt7-4)}{-2(3+\sqrt{21})}=\frac{2\sqrt3+2\sqrt7-4}{3+\sqrt{21}}\cdot\frac{3-\sqrt{21}}{3-\sqrt{21}}\\\\=\frac{6\sqrt3-2\sqrt{63}+6\sqrt7-2\sqrt{147}-12+4\sqrt{21}}{3^2-(\sqrt{21})^2}=\frac{6\sqrt3-2\sqrt{9\cdot7}+6\sqrt7-2\sqrt{49\cdot3}-12+4\sqrt{21}}{9-21}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{6\sqrt3-6\sqrt7+6\sqrt7-14\sqrt3-12+4\sqrt{21}}{-12}=\frac{-8\sqrt3+4\sqrt{21}-12}{-12}=\frac{-4(2\sqrt3-\sqrt{21}+3)}{-12}\\\\=\frac{2\sqrt3-\sqrt{21}+3}{3}[/tex]
