$4sqrt6$

$5sqrt6-3sqrt24+sqrt150$

Write down the factors within each square root sign.

$5sqrt(2*3)-3sqrt(2*2*2*3)+sqrt(5*5*2*3)$

Remove the squares from the square root signs.

$5sqrt(2*3)-(3xx2)sqrt(2*3)+5sqrt(2*3)$

Simplify.

$5sqrt6-6sqrt6+5sqrt6$

Keeping the square root separate, add or subtract the whole numbers according to their preceding signs.

$(5-6+5)sqrt6$

$4sqrt6$
