To simplify this expression, we first need to find the square roots of 24 and 6:

√24 = √(4 * 6) = 2√6
√6 is already simplified

Now we can substitute these values back into the expression:

(1 - 2√6)(-2 + √6)
= 1*(-2) + 1*(√6) - 2√6*(-2) - 2√6*(√6)
= -2 + √6 - (-4√6) - 2√6
= -2 + √6 + 4√6 - 2√6
= 2√6 - 2

Therefore, the expression simplifies to: 2√6 - 2

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's reevaluate the expression:

(1 - 2√24)(-2 + √6)
= 1*(-2) + 1*(√6) - 2√24*(-2) - 2√24*(√6)
= -2 + √6 + 4√24 - 2√144
= -2 + √6 + 4√24 - 2(12)
= -2 + √6 + 4√24 - 24
= -26 + √6 + 4√24

Therefore, the expression simplifies to: -26 + √6 + 4√24
