In any case, you'll want to rationalise the

Rationalise the denominator by multiplying by the conjugate. (You should have been taught this)

I assume you want to simplify it... please state so in the question, also remove ambiguity by using brackets so it's 38/(1 + 2root5) not 38/1+2root5
In any case, you'll want to rationalise the by multiplying the top and bottom of the fraction by .

As we think ubisoft is staying, before rationalising the denominator we suggest you treat this as a fraction and get both numerators under a common denominator.
You will end up with 80 + ??SQRT5 divided by 1 + 2SQRT5
Then rationalising this as ubisoft suggests should be fairly easy. Good luck!

Normally surds can be simplified in the form a√b or a√b + c. This can be achieved by breaking down the bigger surds and/or rationalising the denominator of any fraction. This question involves the latter.
Hope this helps,
