3x-21=\sqrt{3}\left(x+3\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
3x-21=\sqrt{3}x+3\sqrt{3}
Use the distributive property to multiply \sqrt{3} by x+3.
3x-21-\sqrt{3}x=3\sqrt{3}
Subtract \sqrt{3}x from both sides.
3x-\sqrt{3}x=3\sqrt{3}+21
Add 21 to both sides.
\left(3-\sqrt{3}\right)x=3\sqrt{3}+21
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(3-\sqrt{3}\right)x}{3-\sqrt{3}}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}+21}{3-\sqrt{3}}
Divide both sides by 3-\sqrt{3}.
x=\frac{3\sqrt{3}+21}{3-\sqrt{3}}
Dividing by 3-\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by 3-\sqrt{3}.
x=5\sqrt{3}+12
Divide 3\sqrt{3}+21 by 3-\sqrt{3}.
