45=\frac{x\sqrt{2}}{\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}}
Rationalize the denominator of \frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} by multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{2}.
45=\frac{x\sqrt{2}}{2}
The square of \sqrt{2} is 2.
\frac{x\sqrt{2}}{2}=45
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x\sqrt{2}=45\times 2
Multiply both sides by 2.
x\sqrt{2}=90
Multiply 45 and 2 to get 90.
\sqrt{2}x=90
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\sqrt{2}x}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{90}{\sqrt{2}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{2}.
x=\frac{90}{\sqrt{2}}
Dividing by \sqrt{2} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{2}.
x=45\sqrt{2}
Divide 90 by \sqrt{2}.
