0=n\left(60+\left(n-1\right)x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
0=n\left(60+nx-x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply n-1 by x.
0=n\left(59+nx-x\right)
Subtract 1 from 60 to get 59.
0=59n+xn^{2}-nx
Use the distributive property to multiply n by 59+nx-x.
59n+xn^{2}-nx=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xn^{2}-nx=-59n
Subtract 59n from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(n^{2}-n\right)x=-59n
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(n^{2}-n\right)x}{n^{2}-n}=-\frac{59n}{n^{2}-n}
Divide both sides by n^{2}-n.
x=-\frac{59n}{n^{2}-n}
Dividing by n^{2}-n undoes the multiplication by n^{2}-n.
x=-\frac{59}{n-1}
Divide -59n by n^{2}-n.
0=n\left(60+\left(n-1\right)x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
