-5 = 
- 2 equals x = -4.
First, simplify to 
. / Your problem should look like: -5 = - 2.
Second, multiply both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: -20 = 3x -8.
Third, add 8 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: -20 + 8 = 3x.
Fourth, simplify -20 + 8 to -12. / Your problem should look like: -12 = 3x.
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like:
= x.
Sixth, simplify
to 4. / Your problem should look like: -4 = x.
Seventh, switch sides. / Your problem should look like: x = -4, which is your answer.

This is what is in the middle of the second paragraph. That statement is correct.
I don't know that it is any simpler or not, but what they have done in the answer is rationalize the denominator. That means that the denominator is no longer under the square root sign.
To get that result, you multiply numerator and denominator by √F
When you do that, your get
This results in the middle answer.
