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