20+10\sqrt{3}-2x-x\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{3}x
Apply the distributive property by multiplying each term of 10-x by each term of 2+\sqrt{3}.
20+10\sqrt{3}-2x-x\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}x=0
Subtract \sqrt{3}x from both sides.
20+10\sqrt{3}-2x-2x\sqrt{3}=0
Combine -x\sqrt{3} and -\sqrt{3}x to get -2x\sqrt{3}.
10\sqrt{3}-2x-2x\sqrt{3}=-20
Subtract 20 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-2x-2x\sqrt{3}=-20-10\sqrt{3}
Subtract 10\sqrt{3} from both sides.
\left(-2-2\sqrt{3}\right)x=-20-10\sqrt{3}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(-2\sqrt{3}-2\right)x=-10\sqrt{3}-20
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2\sqrt{3}-2\right)x}{-2\sqrt{3}-2}=\frac{-10\sqrt{3}-20}{-2\sqrt{3}-2}
Divide both sides by -2-2\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{-10\sqrt{3}-20}{-2\sqrt{3}-2}
Dividing by -2-2\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by -2-2\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{3}+5}{2}
Divide -20-10\sqrt{3} by -2-2\sqrt{3}.
