1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{\sqrt{7 + \sqrt{7} + h}}{\sqrt{7 - \sqrt{7} + h}}$$ where $h$ is a variable.
2. **Recall the formula and rules:** To simplify a fraction involving square roots, we often multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator to rationalize it. The conjugate of $\sqrt{7 - \sqrt{7} + h}$ is $\sqrt{7 + \sqrt{7} + h}$.
3. **Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate:**
$$\frac{\sqrt{7 + \sqrt{7} + h}}{\sqrt{7 - \sqrt{7} + h}} \times \frac{\sqrt{7 + \sqrt{7} + h}}{\sqrt{7 + \sqrt{7} + h}} = \frac{7 + \sqrt{7} + h}{\sqrt{(7 - \sqrt{7} + h)(7 + \sqrt{7} + h)}}$$
4. **Simplify the denominator using difference of squares:**
$$ (7 - \sqrt{7} + h)(7 + \sqrt{7} + h) = (7 + h)^2 - (\sqrt{7})^2 = (7 + h)^2 - 7 $$
5. **Expand and simplify:**
$$ (7 + h)^2 - 7 = (7 + h)(7 + h) - 7 = (49 + 14h + h^2) - 7 = 42 + 14h + h^2 $$
6. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$ \frac{7 + \sqrt{7} + h}{\sqrt{42 + 14h + h^2}} $$
7. **Final simplified form:**
The expression simplifies to $$\frac{7 + \sqrt{7} + h}{\sqrt{h^2 + 14h + 42}}$$.
This is the simplest form unless further information about $h$ is given.
