\frac{1}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\left(2x+\sqrt{5}\right)=x-8
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
\frac{1}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\times 2x+\frac{1}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\sqrt{5}=x-8
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{1}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}} by 2x+\sqrt{5}.
\frac{2}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}x+\frac{1}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\sqrt{5}=x-8
Multiply \frac{1}{5} and 2 to get \frac{2}{5}.
\frac{2}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}x+\frac{1}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\sqrt{5}-x=-8
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{2}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}x-x=-8-\frac{1}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\sqrt{5}
Subtract \frac{1}{5}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\sqrt{5} from both sides.
\frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}x-x=-8-\frac{1}{5}\sqrt{5}\sqrt{5}
Reorder the terms.
\frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}x-x=-8-\frac{1}{5}\times 5
Multiply \sqrt{5} and \sqrt{5} to get 5.
\frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}x-x=-8-1
Cancel out 5 and 5.
\frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}x-x=-9
Subtract 1 from -8 to get -9.
\left(\frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}-1\right)x=-9
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-1\right)x=-9
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-1\right)x}{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-1}=-\frac{9}{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-1}
Divide both sides by \frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}-1.
x=-\frac{9}{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}-1}
Dividing by \frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}-1 undoes the multiplication by \frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}-1.
x=18\sqrt{5}+45
Divide -9 by \frac{2}{5}\sqrt{5}-1.
