Answer

Final Answer: The final simplified form of the expression is \(\boxed{2\sqrt{6}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Simplify the square roots. The square root of 96 can be simplified to \(4\sqrt{6}\) and the square root of 24 can be simplified to \(2\sqrt{6}\).

Step 2 :Substitute the simplified square roots back into the expression. This gives us \(-2(4\sqrt{6}) + 5(2\sqrt{6})\).

Step 3 :Simplify the expression to get \(-8\sqrt{6} + 10\sqrt{6}\).

Step 4 :Combine like terms to get the final simplified form of the expression, \(2\sqrt{6}\).

Step 5 :Final Answer: The final simplified form of the expression is \(\boxed{2\sqrt{6}}\).
