If
$x-\sqrt{\frac{3}{x}} =10$,
what is the result of the following expression?
$x-3\sqrt{x} =? $
thanks

First, lets get everything in a nice order, so $\sqrt{3\over x} = x-10$
Now, let's square both sides to solve for x fully.
${3\over x} = (x-10)^2$ so this means that $3=x(x-10)^2$.
Solve for x here and then just plug it into the next equation.
This is of course based on the assumption these two are a system of equations, you have it tagged as saying system of equations so I went with this.
Based on OP's comment copied above, the posted problem is most likely mistyped. The following answers the question assuming that the given equation was, instead:
Let $t=\sqrt{x} \gt 0\,$, then the equation becomes $t^3-10t-3=0\,$. Using the rational root theorem it is easy to find the root $t=-3\,$, then the LHS factors as:
$$(t+3)(t^2-3t-1)=0 \quad \iff \quad (\sqrt{x}+3)(x-3\sqrt{x}-1)=0 $$
The first factor is strictly positive $\sqrt{x}+3 \gt 0\,$, which leaves:
$$ x-3\sqrt{x}-1 = 0 \quad \iff \quad x-3\sqrt{x}=1$$
