Answer

$0$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=\sqrt{80x}-5\sqrt{20x}+2\sqrt{45x}$ Factor as a perfect square. $=\sqrt{4^2\cdot 5x}-5\sqrt{2^2\cdot 5x}+2\sqrt{3^2\cdot 5x}$ Simplify. $=4\sqrt{ 5x}-5\cdot 2\sqrt{ 5x}+2\cdot 3\sqrt{ 5x}$ Multiply. $=4\sqrt{ 5x}-10\sqrt{ 5x}+6\sqrt{ 5x}$ Use the distributive property. $=(4-10+6)\sqrt{ 5x}$ Simplify. $=0$.
