2x+x\sqrt{3}-x=8\sqrt{2}
Subtract x from both sides.
x+x\sqrt{3}=8\sqrt{2}
Combine 2x and -x to get x.
\left(1+\sqrt{3}\right)x=8\sqrt{2}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(\sqrt{3}+1\right)x=8\sqrt{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(\sqrt{3}+1\right)x}{\sqrt{3}+1}=\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+1}
Divide both sides by 1+\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+1}
Dividing by 1+\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by 1+\sqrt{3}.
x=4\sqrt{2}\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)
Divide 8\sqrt{2} by 1+\sqrt{3}.
