Hi, there--

THE PROBLEM:
If the sum of sqrt%2850%29 and x%2Asqrt%282%29 is 8%2Asqrt%282%29, find the value of x.

A SOLUTION:

Solve for x.

sqrt%2850%29%2Bx%2Asqrt%282%29=8%2Asqrt%282%29

Notice that sqrt%2850%29=sqrt%2825%2A2%29=5%2Asqrt%282%29.

5%2Asqrt%282%29%2Bx%2Asqrt%282%29=8%2Asqrt%282%29

Divide every term by sqrt%282%29
5%2Bx=8
x=3



Hope this helps! Feel free to email if you have any questions about the solution.

Good luck with your math,
