\sqrt{2}x-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{3}\left(\sqrt{2}-x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply \sqrt{2} by x-\sqrt{3}.
\sqrt{2}x-\sqrt{6}=\sqrt{3}\left(\sqrt{2}-x\right)
To multiply \sqrt{2} and \sqrt{3}, multiply the numbers under the square root.
\sqrt{2}x-\sqrt{6}=\sqrt{3}\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}x
Use the distributive property to multiply \sqrt{3} by \sqrt{2}-x.
\sqrt{2}x-\sqrt{6}=\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{3}x
To multiply \sqrt{3} and \sqrt{2}, multiply the numbers under the square root.
\sqrt{2}x-\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{3}x=\sqrt{6}
Add \sqrt{3}x to both sides.
\sqrt{2}x+\sqrt{3}x=\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{6}
Add \sqrt{6} to both sides.
\sqrt{2}x+\sqrt{3}x=2\sqrt{6}
Combine \sqrt{6} and \sqrt{6} to get 2\sqrt{6}.
\left(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}\right)x=2\sqrt{6}
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}\right)x}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}
Dividing by \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}.
x=6\sqrt{2}-4\sqrt{3}
Divide 2\sqrt{6} by \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}.
