Question 505008
{{{60x+153=9x+51}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{60x=9x+51-153}}} 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=(-102)/(51)}}} Divide both sides by {{{51}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.
