Verified Answer :

-2√6 , because 2√54 - 4√24= 2√9•6 - 4√4•6 = 6√6 - 8√6 = -2√6

Answer:

C. \(-2\sqrt{ 6}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression. We are asked to simplify the given expression.

\(2\sqrt{54}-4\sqrt{24}\)

First of all, we will factor out perfect square under the radicals as shown  below:

\(2\sqrt{9\cdot 6}-4\sqrt{4\cdot 6}\)

\(2\sqrt{3^2\cdot 6}-4\sqrt{2^2\cdot 6}\)

Factor out perfect square:

\(2\cdot 3\sqrt{6}-4\cdot 2\sqrt{ 6}\)

\(6\sqrt{6}-8\sqrt{ 6}\)

Combine like terms:

\(-2\sqrt{ 6}\)

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
