Let n represent the number.
  -13×(n -60) = n +(-59)
  -13n +780 = n -59
  839 = 14n
  839/14 = n = 59 13/14

The number is 59 13/14.

_____
Check
  The difference between the number and 60 is
    59 13/14 -60 = -1/14
  -13 times that value is
    -13*(-1/14) = 13/14
  Compare that to the number plus -59
    59 13/14 -59 = 13/14 . . . . . the same value, as required.
