Given,

3x2+11x+63=03x2+9x+2x+63=03x(x+33)+2(x+33)=0(3x+2)(x+33)=0(3x+2)=0 or (x+33)=0 [Using Zero-product rule] 3x=2 or x=33x=23 or x=33.\Rightarrow \sqrt{3}x^2 + 11x + 6\sqrt{3} = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}x^2 + 9x + 2x + 6\sqrt{3} = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}x(x + 3\sqrt{3}) + 2(x + 3\sqrt{3}) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (\sqrt{3}x + 2)(x + 3\sqrt{3}) = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow (\sqrt{3}x + 2) = 0 \text{ or } (x + 3\sqrt{3}) = 0 \text{ [Using Zero-product rule] } \\[1em] \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}x = -2 \text{ or } x = -3\sqrt{3} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{-2}{\sqrt{3}} \text{ or } x = -3\sqrt{3}.

Hence, x={23,33}x = \Big{\dfrac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}, -3\sqrt{3}\Big}.
