Answer 4

hmm
i think so there is only one step
\[\frac{ 5 \pm \sqrt{295} }{ 20 }\] can be written as \[\frac{ 5 }{ 20 } \pm \frac{\sqrt{295}}{20}\]

Answer 5

what is the prime factorizaton of 295?

Answer 6

I meant like can i divide 5 and 20 by 5 and simply it to get to:
\[\frac{ 1 \pm \sqrt{295} }{ 4 }\]

Answer 7

you can't do that sqrt{295} and 5 both are dividing by 20
here is an example
\[\frac{ 3 +5x}{ 9 } \cancel{=} \frac{1+5x}{3}\]
it should be \[\frac{ 3 }{ 9 } +\frac{5x}{9}=\frac{1}{3} + \frac{5x}{9}\]

Okay thanks :)
