Solve for x 60+X=3x-70

$60 + X = 3 x - 70$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $3 x - 70 = 60 + X$ .

$3 x - 70 = 60 + X$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $70$ to both sides of the equation.

$3 x = 60 + X + 70$

Add $60$ and $70$ .

$3 x = X + 130$

Step 3

Divide each term in $3 x = X + 130$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 x = X + 130$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{X}{3} + \frac{130}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{X}{3} + \frac{130}{3}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{X}{3} + \frac{130}{3}$
