\left(x+6\right)^{2}=\left(4+x\right)^{2}+4\times 4\times 2
Multiply \sqrt{2} and \sqrt{2} to get 2.
x^{2}+12x+36=\left(4+x\right)^{2}+4\times 4\times 2
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+6\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+12x+36=16+8x+x^{2}+4\times 4\times 2
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(4+x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+12x+36=16+8x+x^{2}+16\times 2
Multiply 4 and 4 to get 16.
x^{2}+12x+36=16+8x+x^{2}+32
Multiply 16 and 2 to get 32.
x^{2}+12x+36=48+8x+x^{2}
Add 16 and 32 to get 48.
x^{2}+12x+36-8x=48+x^{2}
Subtract 8x from both sides.
x^{2}+4x+36=48+x^{2}
Combine 12x and -8x to get 4x.
x^{2}+4x+36-x^{2}=48
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
4x+36=48
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
4x=48-36
Subtract 36 from both sides.
4x=12
Subtract 36 from 48 to get 12.
x=\frac{12}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=3
Divide 12 by 4 to get 3.
