    Well there're lots of ways of doing this.

    I keep the following: put t=\sqrt{4+5x}.

    But you're integrating by parts, that's not necessary in this case.

    We can write my substitution as x=\frac{t^2-4}5, now dx=\frac{2t}5\,dt. Substitute those in the integral now, what do you get?

    \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{4+5x}}~dx

    t=\sqrt{4+5x} \implies x = \frac{t^2-4}{5}

    Now

    \int \frac{\frac{t^2-4}{5}}{t}~dx=\int \frac{t^2-4}{5t}\frac{2t}{5}~dt
