Answer:

Explanation:

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and assume that those are a set of poorly made parenthesis. This, then, would be your equation:


x+(x)/(7)+(1)/(11)(x+(x)/(7))=60

The first thing to do is distribute through the parenthesis to get:


x+(x)/(7)+(x)/(11)+(x)/(77)=60

Next is to get rid of the denominators by multiplying by the LCM of 77:


77(x+(x)/(7)+(x)/(11)+(x)/(77)=60) which gives you:

77x + 11x + 7x + x = 4620 and

96x = 4620 so


x=(385)/(8)
