You seemed to want to write
1/sqrt(6) +sqrt(5)-sqrt(11) =1%2Fsqrt%286%29+%2Bsqrt%285%29-sqrt%2811%29 and that would be easy.

However, you may have wanted to write
1/(sqrt(6) +sqrt(5)-sqrt(11)) =1%2F%28sqrt%286%29+%2Bsqrt%285%29-sqrt%2811%29%29 ,
where those crucial parentheses tell us that the denominator is all of sqrt%286%29+%2Bsqrt%285%29-sqrt%2811%29 .
1%2F%28sqrt%286%29%2Bsqrt%285%29-sqrt%2811%29%29 = = =%28sqrt%286%29+%2Bsqrt%285%29%2Bsqrt%2811%29%29%2F%286%2B5%2B2sqrt%285%29sqrt%286%29-11%29 =%28sqrt%286%29+%2Bsqrt%285%29%2Bsqrt%2811%29%29%2F2sqrt%285%29sqrt%286%29 = =%286sqrt%285%29%2B5sqrt%286%29%2Bsqrt%285%29sqrt%286%29sqrt%2811%29%29%2F%282%2A5%2A6%29 =highlight%28%286sqrt%285%29%2B5sqrt%286%29%2Bsqrt%28330%29%29%2F60%29
