x=\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)}{\left(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)}
Rationalize the denominator of \frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{3}} by multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)}{\left(\sqrt{7}\right)^{2}-\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}}
Consider \left(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{3}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}.
x=\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)}{7-3}
Square \sqrt{7}. Square \sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)}{4}
Subtract 3 from 7 to get 4.
x=\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}}{4}
Multiply \sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3} and \sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3} to get \left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}\right)^{2}+2\sqrt{7}\sqrt{3}+\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}}{4}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{7+2\sqrt{7}\sqrt{3}+\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}}{4}
The square of \sqrt{7} is 7.
x=\frac{7+2\sqrt{21}+\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}}{4}
To multiply \sqrt{7} and \sqrt{3}, multiply the numbers under the square root.
x=\frac{7+2\sqrt{21}+3}{4}
The square of \sqrt{3} is 3.
x=\frac{10+2\sqrt{21}}{4}
Add 7 and 3 to get 10.
x=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{21}
Divide each term of 10+2\sqrt{21} by 4 to get \frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{21}.
