See the 30-60-90 triangle shown below:

We can see from this triangle that the side opposite of 60 degree is Square Root of 3 TIMES the side length of side opposite of 30 degree.

Given,

Side opposite of 30 degree = Sqrt(3)

Side opposite of 60 degree = Sqrt(3) x Sqrt(3)

So, this, simplified, is >>>>


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{3}*\sqrt[]{3} \\ =3 \end{gathered}Answer
x=3
