2/5 x 60 = 24
2/5 x (4x - 1) = x+5
8x - 2 = 5x + 25
3x = 27
x = 9
The value of x is 9

$\dfrac{4x - 1}{x + 5} = \dfrac{60}{24}$

$\dfrac{4x - 1}{x + 5} = \dfrac{5}{2}$

$5(x + 5) = 2(4x - 1)$

$5x + 25 = 8x - 2$

$-3x = -27$

$x = 9$

Sum means add

the number is x

13 divided by a number is 13/x
the number divided by the number is x/13

so
$\frac{13}{x}+\frac{x}{13}$
also can be simplified to
$\frac{169}{13x}+\frac{x^2}{13x}$ or
$\frac{x62+169}{13x}$

translated it is $\frac{13}{x}+\frac{x}{13}$ where x is the number
