Math formula simplification help

Ive spent some time today and yesterday creating a formula that mimics an output that I was trying to recreate. It is a bit ugly. Could anyone be so kind as to straighten it (and myself) out? I skipped a lot of math classes in high school, which should explain how it looks.

(((4X / rootX) + Y) * 1.7)- X/20

Im not sure how big of a task this is or if it is even possible, so apologies ahead of time if it is wasting your time. Can I use LaTeX or some variant on this forum?

X / sqrt (X) is just sqrt X

1.7(4 sqrt(X) + Y) - X/20

hah! thanks for that. It makes sense… Im silly. Anything else I missed?

it is just sqrt x, x<>0.

/nitpick

Since you have the 4 in front of the x and not in front of the y you may as well multiply the 1.7 through

6.8 Sqrt(x) + 1.7 y - x/20

It is very likely that the OP doesn’t mind unique continuous extension of otherwise partial functions… As a mathematician, I will happily write f(x)/g(x) to mean “The unique continuous function whose product with g(x) is f(x)” in many contexts.

It’s also possible that the OP has absolutely no idea what this means.

It’s very possible that even though the OP doesn’t understand formally what that means, they nonetheless agree, and would not mind simplifying “x^a/x^b” to “x^(a - b)” without quibbles.

If assuming reals x>o
