Solve .360=12+x/60+x

$$.360 = \frac { 12 + x } { 60 + x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=15$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to -60 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+60.

$$0.36\left(x+60\right)=12+x$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.36 by x+60.

$$0.36x+21.6=12+x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$0.36x+21.6-x=12$$

Combine 0.36x and -x to get -0.64x.

$$-0.64x+21.6=12$$

Subtract 21.6 from both sides.

$$-0.64x=12-21.6$$

Subtract 21.6 from 12 to get -9.6.

$$-0.64x=-9.6$$

Divide both sides by -0.64.

$$x=\frac{-9.6}{-0.64}$$

Expand \frac{-9.6}{-0.64} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{-960}{-64}$$

Divide -960 by -64 to get 15.

$$x=15$$
