\sqrt{5x+8}=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5x+8=y^{2}
Square both sides of the equation.
5x+8-8=y^{2}-8
Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.
5x=y^{2}-8
Subtracting 8 from itself leaves 0.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{y^{2}-8}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{y^{2}-8}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
