First of all, we'd combine the square roots under the radicals to have sqrt(8*2), simplified to sqrt(16). The square root of 16 is 4. We'd end up with 4-7, which equals -3. :)

Restating your original problem just to make it easier to read:
That can be simplified by first prime factorizing 8, which results in the prime factors of 2 * 2 * 2. So now the problem can be rewritten by substituting the prime factors for 8:
You can split those all out separately:
Since , the above problem can be simplified as:
Which can then be further simplified as:
