[ Answer ]

$\boxed{X \ = \ 57}$

[ Explanation ]

(1)/(3) (3x + 9) = 60

Multiply Both Sides By 3:

3 ·
(1)/(3) (3x + 9) = 60 · 3

Simplify:

3x + 9 = 180

Subtract 9 From Both Sides:

3x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9

Simplify:

3x = 171

Divide Both Sides by 3:

$(3x)/(3) \ = \ (171)/(3)$

Simplify:

X = 57

$\boxed{[ \ Eclipsed \ ]}$
