Rewrite ${\sqrt{7}}^{2}$ as $7$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{7}$ as $7^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{3 {(7^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2} + 3 \sqrt{7} \cdot - 2 - 5 \sqrt{7} - 5 \cdot - 2}{3}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$\frac{3 \cdot 7^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2} + 3 \sqrt{7} \cdot - 2 - 5 \sqrt{7} - 5 \cdot - 2}{3}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$\frac{3 \cdot 7^{\frac{2}{2}} + 3 \sqrt{7} \cdot - 2 - 5 \sqrt{7} - 5 \cdot - 2}{3}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 \cdot 7^{\frac{2}{2}} + 3 \sqrt{7} \cdot - 2 - 5 \sqrt{7} - 5 \cdot - 2}{3}$

Rewrite the expression.
