+sqrt%28+5%2F9+%29+%2B+sqrt%28+5%2F81%29+
+sqrt%28+5%29%2Fsqrt%289+%29+%2B+sqrt%28+5%29%2Fsqrt%2881%29+
+sqrt%28+5%29%2F3+%2B+sqrt%28+5%29%2F9+
+%28sqrt%28+5%29%2F3%29%283%2F3%29+%2B+sqrt%28+5%29%2F9+
+%283sqrt%28+5%29%29%2F9+%2B+sqrt%28+5%29%2F9+
+%283sqrt%28+5%29%2B+sqrt%28+5%29%29%2F9+
Exactly like 3x + x = 4x, the numerator adds to:
+%284sqrt%28+5%29%29%2F9+
