Best here to give the complete problem description word for word, and try to at least describe any diagram precisely.

If your equation is the correct one, try multiply both sides by 2x, simplify, and solve. (quadratic equation)

Your statement of the problem makes no sense.

If the problem is about the measures of the angles of a triangle, then the equation should show three measurements adding up to 180.

...and why would you expect the measures of the three angles to be all 60 degrees?
