25+5^{\frac{1}{2}}x=x-\frac{1}{2}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\times 3
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
25+5^{\frac{1}{2}}x=x-\frac{3}{2}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}
Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 3 to get \frac{3}{2}.
25+5^{\frac{1}{2}}x-x=-\frac{3}{2}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}
Subtract x from both sides.
5^{\frac{1}{2}}x-x=-\frac{3}{2}\times 5^{\frac{1}{2}}-25
Subtract 25 from both sides.
\sqrt{5}x-x=-\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{5}-25
Reorder the terms.
\left(\sqrt{5}-1\right)x=-\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{5}-25
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\sqrt{5}-1\right)x=-\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}-25
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{5}-1\right)x}{\sqrt{5}-1}=\frac{-\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}-25}{\sqrt{5}-1}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{5}-1.
x=\frac{-\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}-25}{\sqrt{5}-1}
Dividing by \sqrt{5}-1 undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{5}-1.
x=\frac{-53\sqrt{5}-65}{8}
Divide -\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}-25 by \sqrt{5}-1.
