\sqrt{3}x-2\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{48}
Use the distributive property to multiply \sqrt{3} by x-2.
\sqrt{3}x-2\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{3}
Factor 48=4^{2}\times 3. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{4^{2}\times 3} as the product of square roots \sqrt{4^{2}}\sqrt{3}. Take the square root of 4^{2}.
\sqrt{3}x=4\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}
Add 2\sqrt{3} to both sides.
\sqrt{3}x=6\sqrt{3}
Combine 4\sqrt{3} and 2\sqrt{3} to get 6\sqrt{3}.
\frac{\sqrt{3}x}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{6\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{6\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}
Dividing by \sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{3}.
x=6
Divide 6\sqrt{3} by \sqrt{3}.
