Identifying Intermediate Coefficients in Radical Simplification

A site surveyor is simplifying the measurement expression $5\sqrt{18} - 2\sqrt{8}$ for a boundary report. To subtract these terms, they must first be simplified into a common radical form. Once the square roots are simplified and multiplied by their original coefficients, identify the two integer coefficients that will be subtracted in the final step.
