Yeah just take root of 115

I see

It wouldn't be further simplified

Cause you need a perfect square
rough badge
But your objective is x all along, not x^2
novel crane
Find prime factors and see if anything gets out
rough badge
So you have to write out the value of x
novel crane
Cause you need a perfect square
Nope
That's not the case always
,w prime factors of 115

I'm officially brain dead

Aah so it can't be simplified further hmm
rough badge
Yep, you can factor out something as long as the integer is not square-free
smoky laurel
The answer is just x = 115?
smoky laurel
OHHH
novel crane
You'll take square root ofc because x²=115, √(x²) = x = √(115)
smoky laurel
I see since 115 can't be simplified further it's just the square root of 115
novel crane
Yeah
smoky laurel
Ok thank you so much that's all I needed
