2\times \frac{122}{9}=x\left(1+\sqrt{5}\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x, the least common multiple of x,2.
\frac{2\times 122}{9}=x\left(1+\sqrt{5}\right)
Express 2\times \frac{122}{9} as a single fraction.
\frac{244}{9}=x\left(1+\sqrt{5}\right)
Multiply 2 and 122 to get 244.
\frac{244}{9}=x+x\sqrt{5}
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 1+\sqrt{5}.
x+x\sqrt{5}=\frac{244}{9}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(1+\sqrt{5}\right)x=\frac{244}{9}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\sqrt{5}+1\right)x=\frac{244}{9}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{5}+1\right)x}{\sqrt{5}+1}=\frac{\frac{244}{9}}{\sqrt{5}+1}
Divide both sides by 1+\sqrt{5}.
x=\frac{\frac{244}{9}}{\sqrt{5}+1}
Dividing by 1+\sqrt{5} undoes the multiplication by 1+\sqrt{5}.
x=\frac{61\sqrt{5}-61}{9}
Divide \frac{244}{9} by 1+\sqrt{5}.
