Solving Surds Equation: Tips for Simplifying with Ease

[Mo]

Im feeling stupid today.

<br /> {\sqrt{3}x = x + {\sqrt{3}}<br />

The x is not (square rooted)

Can somebody please throw me in the right direction ??

Collect your x terms to one side, factor out the x. You should be able to take it from there.

\sqrt{3} x - x = \sqrt {3}
then take x as a common factor
