I'm utterly confused by this question...
The length of a golden rectangle is equal to x%2Bx%2Asqrt%285%29. If x = sqrt%285%29, what is the length of the golden rectangle?

---------------------------------------------- 

Simply substitute sqrt%285%29 instead of x. You will get

sqrt%285%29 + sqrt%285%29%2Asqrt%285%29 = sqrt%285%29 + 5.
