Answer

$-10x^3y\sqrt{ 6y}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=4x\sqrt{6x^4y^3}-7y\sqrt{24x^6y}$ Factor the radicands using perfect square factors. $=4x\sqrt{6x^4y^2y}-7y\sqrt{2^2\cdot 2\cdot 3x^6y}$ Group the perfect square factors. $=4x\sqrt{(x^4y^2)(6y)}-7y\sqrt{(2^2x^6)( 2\cdot 3y)}$ Factor into two radicals. $=4x\sqrt{(x^4y^2)}\sqrt{(6y)}-7y\sqrt{(2^2x^6)}\sqrt{( 6y)}$ Simplify. $=4x\cdot x^2y\sqrt{6y}-7y\cdot 2x^3\sqrt{ 6y}$ $=4 x^3y\sqrt{6y}-14x^3y\sqrt{ 6y}$ Use the distributive property. $=(4 -14)x^3y\sqrt{ 6y}$ Simplify. $=-10x^3y\sqrt{ 6y}$.
