can you show the steps to get there?

its all good

Look at all of the quantities under the radicals. You must determine, in each case, whether the radicand can be factored; if so, are any of the factors perfect squares? For example, sqrt(12)=sqrt(4)*sqrt(3). Because sqrt 4 can be simplified to 2, we can rewerite sqrt(12) as 2sqrt(3). Your turn. Try doing the same thing to sqrt(24).

\[7(√6)-2(√12)+√24\] ... what are some factors of 24? are any of those factors perfect squares? If so, which one?
