80+40\sqrt{2}=10+5\sqrt{2}x
Add 5 and 5 to get 10.
10+5\sqrt{2}x=80+40\sqrt{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5\sqrt{2}x=80+40\sqrt{2}-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
5\sqrt{2}x=70+40\sqrt{2}
Subtract 10 from 80 to get 70.
5\sqrt{2}x=40\sqrt{2}+70
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5\sqrt{2}x}{5\sqrt{2}}=\frac{40\sqrt{2}+70}{5\sqrt{2}}
Divide both sides by 5\sqrt{2}.
x=\frac{40\sqrt{2}+70}{5\sqrt{2}}
Dividing by 5\sqrt{2} undoes the multiplication by 5\sqrt{2}.
x=7\sqrt{2}+8
Divide 70+40\sqrt{2} by 5\sqrt{2}.
