I don't know if the first x is in or outside of the square root. Lets first assume in and see where it takes us.
step 1 - multiply evreything by sqrt(3) to get
step 2 - simplify the square roots to get
step 3 - subtract 6 from both sides to get
step 4 - divide by 3 to get
step 5 - square both sides to get
step 6 - multiply everything by 9 to get
step 7 - set = 0 and factor
by quadratic, we get
then
and then

Now, suppose the x is outside the square root. We get
step 1 - multiply evreything by sqrt(3) to get
step 2 - simplify the square roots to get
step 3 - subtract x from both sides to get
step 4 - subtract 6 from both sides to get
divide by 2 to get
