as below.

Case : 1 $"If the given sum is "(2x) / (sqrt5 x)$

$"Then ",(2x * sqrt5) / (sqrt5 x * sqrt5)$

$=> (2sqrt5 cancelx) /( 5 cancelx) = color(maroon)((2 sqrt5) / 5$

Case : 2 $"If the given sum is " (2x) / sqrt(5x)$

$"Then " => (2x * sqrt(5x)) / (sqrt(5x) * sqrt(5x))$

$=> (2 sqrt5 * cancelx sqrtx) / (5 cancelx)$

$=> color(maroon)(2 sqrt(5x)) / 5$

How do you rationalize the denominator for \frac{2x}{\sqrt{5}x}\frac{2x}{\sqrt{5}x}?
