Question 2 of 5
Adding & Subtracting Radicals

To add or subtract radicals, the degree and radicand must be the same. For example, \(2\sqrt{3} + 3\sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}\) but \(2\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\) cannot be added because they have different radicands.

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) - \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

20\( \sqrt{5} \)
20\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{9} \)
11\( \sqrt{5} \)
