2x+\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}x-\left(2-\sqrt{6}x\right)=\sqrt{2}
Subtract 2-\sqrt{6}x from both sides.
2x+\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}x-2-\left(-\sqrt{6}x\right)=\sqrt{2}
To find the opposite of 2-\sqrt{6}x, find the opposite of each term.
2x+\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}x-2+\sqrt{6}x=\sqrt{2}
The opposite of -\sqrt{6}x is \sqrt{6}x.
2x-\sqrt{2}x-2+\sqrt{6}x=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}
Subtract \sqrt{6} from both sides.
2x-\sqrt{2}x+\sqrt{6}x=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}+2
Add 2 to both sides.
\left(2-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}\right)x=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}+2
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\sqrt{6}+2-\sqrt{2}\right)x=\sqrt{2}+2-\sqrt{6}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{6}+2-\sqrt{2}\right)x}{\sqrt{6}+2-\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}+2-\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}+2-\sqrt{2}}
Divide both sides by 2-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}.
x=\frac{\sqrt{2}+2-\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}+2-\sqrt{2}}
Dividing by 2-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6} undoes the multiplication by 2-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}.
x=\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}
Divide \sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}+2 by 2-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}.
