\sqrt{10}x+10x-2\sqrt{5}=5
Add 5 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\sqrt{10}x+10x=5+2\sqrt{5}
Add 2\sqrt{5} to both sides.
\left(\sqrt{10}+10\right)x=5+2\sqrt{5}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\sqrt{10}+10\right)x=2\sqrt{5}+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{10}+10\right)x}{\sqrt{10}+10}=\frac{2\sqrt{5}+5}{\sqrt{10}+10}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{10}+10.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{5}+5}{\sqrt{10}+10}
Dividing by \sqrt{10}+10 undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{10}+10.
x=\frac{\sqrt{2}\left(2\sqrt{10}+5\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{5}-2\right)}{18}
Divide 5+2\sqrt{5} by \sqrt{10}+10.
