20\sqrt{3}+60=x+\sqrt{3}x
Use the distributive property to multiply 1+\sqrt{3} by x.
x+\sqrt{3}x=20\sqrt{3}+60
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(1+\sqrt{3}\right)x=20\sqrt{3}+60
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\sqrt{3}+1\right)x=20\sqrt{3}+60
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{3}+1\right)x}{\sqrt{3}+1}=\frac{20\sqrt{3}+60}{\sqrt{3}+1}
Divide both sides by 1+\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{20\sqrt{3}+60}{\sqrt{3}+1}
Dividing by 1+\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by 1+\sqrt{3}.
x=20\sqrt{3}
Divide 20\sqrt{3}+60 by 1+\sqrt{3}.
