%283%2Bsqrt%282%29%29%2F%283-sqrt%282%29%29%22%22-%22%22%283-sqrt%282%29%29%2F%283%2Bsqrt%282%29%29%22%22=%22%22%28%28a%2B12sqrt%282%29%29%2F7%29b

There is no way to solve just one equation with two unknowns.
You must have as many equations as you have unknowns.

Did you mean for the minus sign between the fractions on the left
side to be an equal sign? In other words, did you mean this?:

%283%2Bsqrt%282%29%29%2F%283-sqrt%282%29%29%22%22=%22%22%283-sqrt%282%29%29%2F%283%2Bsqrt%282%29%29%22%22=%22%22%28%28a%2B12sqrt%282%29%29%2F7%29b

If you answer in the thank-you note form, and we'll get back to you.
