sqrt%282%29%2A%28x%2B3%2Asqrt%282%29%29=18Remove the parentheses by distributive property,
x%2Asqrt%282%29%2B3%2A2=18Subtract 6 from both sides of equation'
x%2Asqrt%282%29=12, divide both sides by sqrt%282%29
x=12%2Fsqrt%282%29=6%2Asqrt%282%29, rationalize the denominator,
Answer: x=6sqrt%282%29
Done.
