:
It's not an equation, it's just an expression
%283-sqrt%2811%29%29%2F%282%2Bsqrt%2811%29%29
Multiply by the conjugate of the denominator over itself
%283-sqrt%2811%29%29%2F%282%2Bsqrt%2811%29%29*%282-sqrt%2811%29%29%2F%282-sqrt%2811%29%29 = %286-3sqrt%2811%29-2sqrt%2811%29%2B11%29%2F%284+-+11%29 = %2817-5sqrt%2811%29%29%2F-7
