Are the following two expressions equivalent;
(5+√5)/(5) and 1+(√5)/(5) ?
I've got to the end of a long surds problem and have to give the answer in the form a+(√5)/(b).
I got as far as (5+√5)/(5), then I'm not sure
P.s.
The problem was;
(√180-2√5) / (5√5 - 5)

You did very well
a+(√5)/(b) = (5+√5)/(5) = 5/5+(√5)/(5) = 1+(√5)/(5)
Every living thing has no choice but to execute its pre-programmed instructions embedded in it (known as instincts).
But only a human may have the freedom and ability to oppose his natural robotic nature.
But, by opposing it, such a human becomes no more of this world.
