Solve 360=12+x/60+x

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

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{21588}{359} = -60\frac{48}{359} \approx -60.133704735$$

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.

$$360\left(x+60\right)=12+x$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 360 by x+60.

$$360x+21600=12+x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$360x+21600-x=12$$

Combine 360x and -x to get 359x.

$$359x+21600=12$$

Subtract 21600 from both sides.

$$359x=12-21600$$

Subtract 21600 from 12 to get -21588.

$$359x=-21588$$

Divide both sides by 359.

$$x=\frac{-21588}{359}$$

Fraction \frac{-21588}{359} can be rewritten as -\frac{21588}{359} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{21588}{359}$$
