Answer

$-2\sqrt[]{x}$

Work Step by Step

Subtracting the coefficients and then copying the common radical expression, the given expression, $ 3\sqrt[]{x}-5\sqrt[]{x} ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} & (3-5)\sqrt[]{x} \\&= -2\sqrt[]{x} .\end{align*} Hence, the given expression simplifies to $ -2\sqrt[]{x} $.
