no further information?  then you can′t determine x uniquely.

i understand the question well. your  machine translation makes the thing  even more unclear. please delete it!    as i said you can not determine the  radius of the fourth circle if only  the radii of other three circles are  given.    ONLY if the quadrilateral is a so−  called tangential quadrilateral, then  (1/x)+(1/4)=(1/3)+(1/6)  ⇒x=4    a tangential quadrilateral is a  quadrilateral whose sides all  tangent the same circle.

there is no clear proof that the circle is the same.  The answer in the  book  8

$$\mathrm{there}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{clear}\:\mathrm{proof}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{circle}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{same}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{answer}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\:\mathrm{book}\:\:\mathrm{8} \\ $$

i have said: there is no unique  solution for the radius of the fourth  circle.
