Answer:
2√(2)

=====================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we replace every copy of
√(2) with x

Doing so means we have the expression 5x-3x. That simplifies to 2x.

The last thing to do is replace the x with
√(2) and that's how we end up with
2√(2) as the final answer.

----------

In short: we subtract the numbers out front, and then tack on a root 2 at the end.

As another example,
19√(2)-11√(2) = (19-11)√(2) = 8√(2)

This is basically the same as saying 19x-11x = (19-11)x = 8x where
x = √(2)
