See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, we can write and then rewrite this as;

2sqrt(7) * 3sqrt(5) =>

(2 * 3)(sqrt(7) * sqrt(5)) =>

6(sqrt(7) * sqrt(5))

Now, we can use this rule for radicals to multiply the radicals:

sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b))

6(sqrt(color(red)(7)) * sqrt(color(blue)(5))) =>

6sqrt(color(red)(7) * color(blue)(5)) =>

6sqrt(35)
