Answer:

Noah mistakenly added 25 and 7 in denominator instead of subtracting in the third step.

Explanation:

Noah had to rationalize the denominator of
(32)/(5-√(7))

According to him,


\frac{32}{5-√(7) = \frac{32(5+√(7){(5-√(7))(5+√(7)

Solving the nominator and denominator


= (160-32√(7))/(25+5√(7)-5√(7)-7)

Noah did correctly till this point.

In the next step he add 25 and 7 in the denominator, whereas, it should be subtracted.

Hence,

Noah mistakenly added 25 and 7 in denominator instead of subtracting in the third step.
