It's +%28sqrt%283%29+-+sqrt%285%29%29%28sqrt%283%29+-+sqrt%285%29%29+. Looks like you'll need to use FOIL on this one.

It turns out as +sqrt%283%29%2Asqrt%283%29+-+2sqrt%283%29sqrt%285%29+%2B+sqrt%285%29%2Asqrt%285%29+ which simplifies to +9+-+2sqrt%2815%29+%2B+25+ and simplifies further to +34+-+2sqrt%2815%29+.
