11sqrt2-2sqrt6

Explanation:

"using the "color(blue)"law of radicals"

•color(white)(x)sqrtaxxsqrtbhArrsqrt(ab)

"simplifying each radical gives"

sqrt98=sqrt(49xx2)=sqrt49xxsqrt2=7sqrt2

sqrt24=sqrt(4xx6)=sqrt4xxsqrt6=2sqrt6

sqrt32=sqrt(16xx2)=sqrt16xxsqrt2=4sqrt2

rArrsqrt98-sqrt24+sqrt32

=color(blue)(7sqrt2)-2sqrt6color(blue)(+4sqrt2)

=11sqrt2-2sqrt6
