#59=x+90#

Transposition of #90# to the other side of the equation!

#x=59-90#

Subtract the values!

#x= -31#

Voila!

If you want to double check-

#59=(-31+90)#

#59=59#

Tadaa!

Due to the rules of Linear equations, while the number 90 is transposed to the other side of the equation, it changes its value from #+# to #-# !

#color(magenta)(x=-31#

#59=x+90#

Subtracting 90 from both sides:

#59-90=x+cancel90-cancel90#

#-31=x#

#color(magenta)(x=-31#

~Hope this helps! :)
