Assumption: The question should be:
#" " 3-sqrt(3n^2+n-3)=n+1#

Taken to a point where you should be able to finish it off.

#3-n-1=sqrt(3n^2+n-3)#

Square both sides

#(2-n)^2=3n^2+n-3#

#4-4n+n^2=3n^2+n-3#

#2n^2+5n-7=0#

Using standard form #y=an^2+bn+c#

Where#" "a=2"; "b=5"; "c=-7#

and #n= (-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)#

#=>n" "=" "(-5+-sqrt(5^2-4(2)(-7)))/(2(2))#

#n" "=" "-5/4+-sqrt(25+56)/4#

I will let you finish this off.
