3\left(30-\left(x-10\right)\sqrt{3}\right)=x\sqrt{3}
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x, the least common multiple of x,3.
3\left(30-\left(x\sqrt{3}-10\sqrt{3}\right)\right)=x\sqrt{3}
Use the distributive property to multiply x-10 by \sqrt{3}.
3\left(30-x\sqrt{3}-\left(-10\sqrt{3}\right)\right)=x\sqrt{3}
To find the opposite of x\sqrt{3}-10\sqrt{3}, find the opposite of each term.
3\left(30-x\sqrt{3}+10\sqrt{3}\right)=x\sqrt{3}
The opposite of -10\sqrt{3} is 10\sqrt{3}.
90-3\sqrt{3}x+30\sqrt{3}=x\sqrt{3}
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 30-x\sqrt{3}+10\sqrt{3}.
90-3\sqrt{3}x+30\sqrt{3}-x\sqrt{3}=0
Subtract x\sqrt{3} from both sides.
90-4\sqrt{3}x+30\sqrt{3}=0
Combine -3\sqrt{3}x and -x\sqrt{3} to get -4\sqrt{3}x.
-4\sqrt{3}x+30\sqrt{3}=-90
Subtract 90 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-4\sqrt{3}x=-90-30\sqrt{3}
Subtract 30\sqrt{3} from both sides.
\left(-4\sqrt{3}\right)x=-30\sqrt{3}-90
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-4\sqrt{3}\right)x}{-4\sqrt{3}}=\frac{-30\sqrt{3}-90}{-4\sqrt{3}}
Divide both sides by -4\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{-30\sqrt{3}-90}{-4\sqrt{3}}
Dividing by -4\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by -4\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{15\sqrt{3}+15}{2}
Divide -90-30\sqrt{3} by -4\sqrt{3}.
