[ Answer ]

$\boxed{X \ = \ 57}$

[ Explanation ]

$\frac{1}{3}$ (3x + 9) = 60

Multiply Both Sides By 3:

3 · $\frac{1}{3}$ (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:

$\frac{3x}{3} \ = \ \frac{171}{3}$

Simplify:

X = 57

$\boxed{[ \ Eclipsed \ ]}$
