To determine the root of the equation, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Let's begin by simplifying the equation:
√3n - 5 + 7 = 2√3n - 5 + 5
Combining like terms:
√3n + 2 = 2√3n
Next, let's eliminate the square root by squaring both sides of the equation:
(√3n + 2)^2 = (2√3n)^2
Expanding both sides:
(3n + 4√3n + 4) = (4 * 3n)
Simplifying the right side:
3n + 4√3n + 4 = 12n
Now, let's isolate the terms with the variable on one side:
3n - 12n = -4 - 4√3n
-9n = -4(1 + √3n)
Dividing both sides by -9:
n = (4/9)(1 + √3n)
At this point, we have isolated the variable n. However, we cannot determine a specific numerical value for n without knowing the value of √3n.
√3n - 5 + 7 = 2√3n - 5 + 5

Next, let's eliminate the square root by squaring both sides of the equation:
(√3n + 2)^2 = (2√3n)^2
Expanding both sides:
(3n + 4√3n + 4) = (4 * 3n)
Simplifying the right side:
3n + 4√3n + 4 = 12n
Now, let's isolate the terms with the variable on one side:
3n - 12n = -4 - 4√3n
-9n = -4(1 + √3n)
Dividing both sides by -9:
n = (4/9)(1 + √3n)
At this point, we have isolated the variable n. However, we cannot determine a specific numerical value for n without knowing the value of √3n.

starting from this step:
√3n + 2 = 2√3n
2 = 2√3n
1 = √3n
1 = 3n
n = 1/3
√3n + 2 = 2√3n
2 = 2√3n
1 = √3n
1 = 3n
n = 1/3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the solution:
Starting from the step:
√3n + 2 = 2√3n
We can subtract √3n from both sides:
2 = √3n
Now, we can square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:
(2)^2 = (√3n)^2
4 = 3n
Finally, we can divide both sides by 3 to solve for n:
4/3 = n
Therefore, the root of the equation is n = 4/3.
