Solve the proportion.
\[\frac{ 4 }{ x } = \frac{ \sqrt{11 } - 1}{ 3 }\]
\[\large \frac{ 4 }{ x } = \frac{ \sqrt{11 } - 1}{ 3 }\] \[\large 4*3 = x(\sqrt{11 } - 1)\] \[\large 12 = x(\sqrt{11 } - 1)\] \[\large \frac{12}{\sqrt{11 } - 1} = x\] \[\large x = \frac{12}{\sqrt{11 } - 1}\] I'll let you rationalize the denominator
\[\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\sqrt{11}-\frac{ 6 }{ 5}\] ???

oh i messed up it should be 5/6 on the last fraction
\[\large x = \frac{12}{\sqrt{11 } - 1}\] \[\large x = \frac{12(\sqrt{11 } + 1)}{(\sqrt{11 } - 1)(\sqrt{11 } + 1)}\] \[\large x = \frac{12\sqrt{11 } + 12}{(\sqrt{11 })^2 - 1^2}\] \[\large x = \frac{12\sqrt{11 } + 12}{11 - 1}\] \[\large x = \frac{12\sqrt{11 } + 12}{10}\] \[\large x = \frac{2(6\sqrt{11 } + 6)}{10}\] \[\large x = \frac{6\sqrt{11 } + 6}{5}\]
ok thanks :)
