Answer:

The answer to this question is: B [-2√5]

Explanation:

First, Find both numbers that can accommodate with each of the radicals.

√20

10 and 2

5 and 2 and 2

√80

10 and 8

5 and 2 and 4 and 2

5 and 2 and 2 and 2 and 2

After this is what they'll look like.

√5,2,2 - √5,2,2,2,2

Group numbers of pairs

√5,2,2 - √5,2,2,2,2

For every pair, bring out the #'s, but only one survives, and comes out.

2√5 - 4√5

= -2√5

This is your answer! Hope this helped!
