\left(x-3\right)\times 60=\left(x+3\right)\times 30
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -3,3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right), the least common multiple of x+3,x-3.
60x-180=\left(x+3\right)\times 30
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by 60.
60x-180=30x+90
Use the distributive property to multiply x+3 by 30.
60x-180-30x=90
Subtract 30x from both sides.
30x-180=90
Combine 60x and -30x to get 30x.
30x=90+180
Add 180 to both sides.
30x=270
Add 90 and 180 to get 270.
x=\frac{270}{30}
Divide both sides by 30.
x=9
Divide 270 by 30 to get 9.
