4\sqrt{2x+3}-2\sqrt{5}-\left(-2\sqrt{5}\right)=10-\left(-2\sqrt{5}\right)
Subtract -2\sqrt{5} from both sides of the equation.
4\sqrt{2x+3}=10-\left(-2\sqrt{5}\right)
Subtracting -2\sqrt{5} from itself leaves 0.
4\sqrt{2x+3}=2\sqrt{5}+10
Subtract -2\sqrt{5} from 10.
\frac{4\sqrt{2x+3}}{4}=\frac{2\sqrt{5}+10}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
\sqrt{2x+3}=\frac{2\sqrt{5}+10}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
\sqrt{2x+3}=\frac{\sqrt{5}+5}{2}
Divide 10+2\sqrt{5} by 4.
2x+3=\frac{5\sqrt{5}+15}{2}
Square both sides of the equation.
2x+3-3=\frac{5\sqrt{5}+15}{2}-3
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
2x=\frac{5\sqrt{5}+15}{2}-3
Subtracting 3 from itself leaves 0.
2x=\frac{5\sqrt{5}+9}{2}
Subtract 3 from \frac{15+5\sqrt{5}}{2}.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5\sqrt{5}+9}{2\times 2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{5}+9}{2\times 2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{5}+9}{4}
Divide \frac{9+5\sqrt{5}}{2} by 2.
