60x%2B153=9x%2B51 Start with the given equation.


60x=9x%2B51-153 Subtract 153 from both sides.


60x-9x=51-153 Subtract 9x from both sides.


51x=51-153 Combine like terms on the left side.


51x=-102 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-102%29%2F%2851%29 Divide both sides by 51 to isolate x.


x=-2 Reduce.
