    First you need to reduce each square root. In each case, find the largest perfect square factor under the radical.

    in the case of sqrt (20), that boils down to 4*5, so sqrt (20) = sqrt (4) * sqrt (5), or 2sqrt (5).

    sqrt (80) = sqrt (16) * sqrt (5) = 4sqrt (5).

    Final answer: subtract 4 sqrt (5) from 2 sqrt (5). Can you do this?
