$x = 89.4$

$2/5sqrt(10x+6) = 12$

As with any equation, we need to isolate $x$ .

Isolate the square root first.

$color(blue)(5/2 xx)2/5sqrt(10x+6) = color(blue)(5/2 xx)12$

$color(white)(............)sqrt(10x+6) = 30" "larr$ now square both sides

$color(white)(..........)sqrt(10x+6)^2 = 30^2$

$color(white)(...............)10x+6 = 900" "larr$ subtract 6 from both sides

$color(white)(......................)10x = 894$

$color(white)(.........................)x = 89.4$
