2\left(60+x\right)=7\left(5x+3\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{3}{5} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4\left(5x+3\right), the least common multiple of 10x+6,4.
120+2x=7\left(5x+3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 60+x.
120+2x=35x+21
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by 5x+3.
120+2x-35x=21
Subtract 35x from both sides.
120-33x=21
Combine 2x and -35x to get -33x.
-33x=21-120
Subtract 120 from both sides.
-33x=-99
Subtract 120 from 21 to get -99.
x=\frac{-99}{-33}
Divide both sides by -33.
x=3
Divide -99 by -33 to get 3.
