\left(x+2000\right)\sqrt{3}=3x
Variable x cannot be equal to -2000 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(x+2000\right), the least common multiple of 3,2000+x.
x\sqrt{3}+2000\sqrt{3}=3x
Use the distributive property to multiply x+2000 by \sqrt{3}.
x\sqrt{3}+2000\sqrt{3}-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
x\sqrt{3}-3x=-2000\sqrt{3}
Subtract 2000\sqrt{3} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(\sqrt{3}-3\right)x=-2000\sqrt{3}
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{3}-3\right)x}{\sqrt{3}-3}=-\frac{2000\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-3}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{3}-3.
x=-\frac{2000\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-3}
Dividing by \sqrt{3}-3 undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{3}-3.
x=1000\sqrt{3}+1000
Divide -2000\sqrt{3} by \sqrt{3}-3.
