8n=\left(n+3\right)\sqrt{3}
Variable n cannot be equal to -3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8\left(n+3\right), the least common multiple of 3+n,8.
8n=n\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{3}
Use the distributive property to multiply n+3 by \sqrt{3}.
8n-n\sqrt{3}=3\sqrt{3}
Subtract n\sqrt{3} from both sides.
-\sqrt{3}n+8n=3\sqrt{3}
Reorder the terms.
\left(-\sqrt{3}+8\right)n=3\sqrt{3}
Combine all terms containing n.
\left(8-\sqrt{3}\right)n=3\sqrt{3}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(8-\sqrt{3}\right)n}{8-\sqrt{3}}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8-\sqrt{3}}
Divide both sides by -\sqrt{3}+8.
n=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8-\sqrt{3}}
Dividing by -\sqrt{3}+8 undoes the multiplication by -\sqrt{3}+8.
n=\frac{24\sqrt{3}+9}{61}
Divide 3\sqrt{3} by -\sqrt{3}+8.
