\sqrt{5}x+1=2\sqrt{5}+1
Factor 20=2^{2}\times 5. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{2^{2}\times 5} as the product of square roots \sqrt{2^{2}}\sqrt{5}. Take the square root of 2^{2}.
\sqrt{5}x=2\sqrt{5}+1-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\sqrt{5}x=2\sqrt{5}
Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.
\frac{\sqrt{5}x}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{5}.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}
Dividing by \sqrt{5} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{5}.
x=2
Divide 2\sqrt{5} by \sqrt{5}.
