10\sqrt{3}+x\sqrt{3}=x
Use the distributive property to multiply 10+x by \sqrt{3}.
10\sqrt{3}+x\sqrt{3}-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
x\sqrt{3}-x=-10\sqrt{3}
Subtract 10\sqrt{3} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)x=-10\sqrt{3}
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)x}{\sqrt{3}-1}=-\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-1}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{3}-1.
x=-\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}-1}
Dividing by \sqrt{3}-1 undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{3}-1.
x=-5\sqrt{3}-15
Divide -10\sqrt{3} by \sqrt{3}-1.
