2-\left(x+2\sqrt{3}x\right)+\sqrt{3}+3=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 1+2\sqrt{3} by x.
2-x-2\sqrt{3}x+\sqrt{3}+3=0
To find the opposite of x+2\sqrt{3}x, find the opposite of each term.
5-x-2\sqrt{3}x+\sqrt{3}=0
Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
-x-2\sqrt{3}x+\sqrt{3}=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-x-2\sqrt{3}x=-5-\sqrt{3}
Subtract \sqrt{3} from both sides.
\left(-1-2\sqrt{3}\right)x=-5-\sqrt{3}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(-2\sqrt{3}-1\right)x=-\sqrt{3}-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-2\sqrt{3}-1\right)x}{-2\sqrt{3}-1}=\frac{-\sqrt{3}-5}{-2\sqrt{3}-1}
Divide both sides by -1-2\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}-5}{-2\sqrt{3}-1}
Dividing by -1-2\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by -1-2\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{9\sqrt{3}+1}{11}
Divide -5-\sqrt{3} by -1-2\sqrt{3}.
