3\times 240-180=6x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x, the least common multiple of x,3x.
720-180=6x
Multiply 3 and 240 to get 720.
540=6x
Subtract 180 from 720 to get 540.
6x=540
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{540}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=90
Divide 540 by 6 to get 90.
