x\times 60-36=48x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
x\times 60-36-48x=0
Subtract 48x from both sides.
12x-36=0
Combine x\times 60 and -48x to get 12x.
12x=36
Add 36 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{36}{12}
Divide both sides by 12.
x=3
Divide 36 by 12 to get 3.
