This is the same thing as asking what's (3 x 2) - (1 x 2). The answer to that is (3 - 1) x 2 = 2 x 2 = 4. Apply the same principle to your problem:
(3 x √2) - (1 x √2) = (3 - 1) x √2 = 2 x √2.
Mathematically though, it would be written as this: 2√2.

Lets replace square root of two with apples or whatever...
3 Apples-1 Apple
How many are left?
2 Apples (I hope you said that)
Now let's replace apples with square root of two...
2 times square root of 2
Easy?
