Hi Brianna

We have (60) x = 1
When we multiply it it will give us 60x = 1
Now, you divide both sides by 60
60x/60 = 1/60
x = 1/60

There's only one possible value for x.


Now, let's check if the answer is correct.
To see if it correct we will have to replace the value we found for x earlier in the original problem.


(60) x = 1
Now we gonna replace x by 1/60
(60) 1/60 = 1
Now we multiply 60 by 1 which gives us 60
now we have 60/60
When we divide 60 by 60 we will get 1


What do you see ? 1 = 1 right ?

So yes, the answer is correct!


I hope that's help and if you have further questions about my answer just let me know if the comment.


Have a nice week!
