\sqrt{2}+1=\left(x\times 2^{\frac{1}{2}}+x\right)\times 0.5
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
\sqrt{2}+1=x\times 2^{\frac{1}{2}}\times 0.5+0.5x
Use the distributive property to multiply x\times 2^{\frac{1}{2}}+x by 0.5.
x\times 2^{\frac{1}{2}}\times 0.5+0.5x=\sqrt{2}+1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
0.5\sqrt{2}x+0.5x=\sqrt{2}+1
Reorder the terms.
\left(0.5\sqrt{2}+0.5\right)x=\sqrt{2}+1
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{2}x=\sqrt{2}+1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2\times \frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{2}x}{\sqrt{2}+1}=\frac{2\left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)}{\sqrt{2}+1}
Divide both sides by 0.5\sqrt{2}+0.5.
x=\frac{2\left(\sqrt{2}+1\right)}{\sqrt{2}+1}
Dividing by 0.5\sqrt{2}+0.5 undoes the multiplication by 0.5\sqrt{2}+0.5.
x=2
Divide \sqrt{2}+1 by 0.5\sqrt{2}+0.5.
