3 / (19 - 2((88)^1/2))^1/2 - 8 / (14 + 2((33)^1/2))^1/2 = ?

I was able to rationalize and reduce the above to the following :

(19 + 2((88)^1/2))^1/2 - (14 - 2((33)^1/2))^1/2.

Not sure if the above is correct or how to reduce further ?

you are absolutely right. The correct answer is
root(10 + 2 root(88)) - root(14-2 root(33))
