4\sqrt{180}-\sqrt{180}=2\sqrt{x}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
4\times 6\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{180}=2\sqrt{x}
Factor 180=6^{2}\times 5. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{6^{2}\times 5} as the product of square roots \sqrt{6^{2}}\sqrt{5}. Take the square root of 6^{2}.
24\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{180}=2\sqrt{x}
Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.
24\sqrt{5}-6\sqrt{5}=2\sqrt{x}
Factor 180=6^{2}\times 5. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{6^{2}\times 5} as the product of square roots \sqrt{6^{2}}\sqrt{5}. Take the square root of 6^{2}.
2\sqrt{x}=24\sqrt{5}-6\sqrt{5}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2\sqrt{x}=18\sqrt{5}
Combine 24\sqrt{5} and -6\sqrt{5} to get 18\sqrt{5}.
\frac{2\sqrt{x}}{2}=\frac{18\sqrt{5}}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
\sqrt{x}=\frac{18\sqrt{5}}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
\sqrt{x}=9\sqrt{5}
Divide 18\sqrt{5} by 2.
x=405
Square both sides of the equation.
