$\frac{x}{2 - \sqrt{3}}$

Step 1

Multiply $\frac{x}{2 - \sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{2 + \sqrt{3}}{2 + \sqrt{3}}$ .

$\frac{x}{2 - \sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{2 + \sqrt{3}}{2 + \sqrt{3}}$

Step 2

Multiply $\frac{x}{2 - \sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{2 + \sqrt{3}}{2 + \sqrt{3}}$ .

$\frac{x (2 + \sqrt{3})}{(2 - \sqrt{3}) (2 + \sqrt{3})}$

Step 3

Expand the denominator using the FOIL method.

$\frac{x (2 + \sqrt{3})}{4 + 2 \sqrt{3} - 2 \sqrt{3} - {\sqrt{3}}^{2}}$

Step 4

Simplify.

$\frac{x (2 + \sqrt{3})}{1}$

Step 5

Divide $x (2 + \sqrt{3})$ by $1$ .

$x (2 + \sqrt{3})$

Step 6

Apply the distributive property.

$x \cdot 2 + x \sqrt{3}$

Step 7

Move $2$ to the left of $x$ .

$2 x + x \sqrt{3}$
