\[2x=\sqrt{20+2x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start by squaring both sides. This eliminates the radical: \[4x^2 = 20 + 2x\] Subtract the 20 and the 2x from both sides to get a quadratic equation: \[4x^2 -2x -20=0\] From here you could try factoring or plugging in to the quadratic formula. If you need more help with solving this let me know.

like first step you can factorizing out 2 and divide both sides by 2 and so will get 2x^2 -x -10 = 0
