x=\frac{\left(-4+7\sqrt{3}\right)\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\right)}{\left(-\sqrt{3}-2\right)\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\right)}
Rationalize the denominator of \frac{-4+7\sqrt{3}}{-\sqrt{3}-2} by multiplying numerator and denominator by -\sqrt{3}+2.
x=\frac{\left(-4+7\sqrt{3}\right)\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\right)}{\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}-2^{2}}
Consider \left(-\sqrt{3}-2\right)\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\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(-4+7\sqrt{3}\right)\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\right)}{\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}-2^{2}}
Calculate -\sqrt{3} to the power of 2 and get \left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}.
x=\frac{\left(-4+7\sqrt{3}\right)\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\right)}{\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}-4}
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
x=\frac{\left(-4+7\sqrt{3}\right)\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\right)}{3-4}
The square of \sqrt{3} is 3.

Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.
x=-\left(-4+7\sqrt{3}\right)\left(-\sqrt{3}+2\right)
Anything divided by -1 gives its opposite.
x=-\left(-4\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)-8+7\sqrt{3}\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)+14\sqrt{3}\right)

x=-\left(4\sqrt{3}-8+7\sqrt{3}\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)+14\sqrt{3}\right)
Multiply -4 and -1 to get 4.
x=-\left(18\sqrt{3}-8+7\sqrt{3}\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)\right)
Combine 4\sqrt{3} and 14\sqrt{3} to get 18\sqrt{3}.
x=-18\sqrt{3}-\left(-8\right)-7\sqrt{3}\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)
To find the opposite of 18\sqrt{3}-8+7\sqrt{3}\left(-\sqrt{3}\right), find the opposite of each term.
x=-18\sqrt{3}+8-7\sqrt{3}\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)
The opposite of -8 is 8.
x=-18\sqrt{3}+8+7\sqrt{3}\sqrt{3}
Multiply -7 and -1 to get 7.
x=-18\sqrt{3}+8+7\times 3
Multiply \sqrt{3} and \sqrt{3} to get 3.
x=-18\sqrt{3}+8+21
Multiply 7 and 3 to get 21.
