Translating words into math, we have the equations $$\begin{array}{rl}a+b+c& =60\\ a-7& =N\\ b+7& =N\\ 7c& =N\end{array}$$ We will express the value of each of $a$, $b$, and $c$ in terms of $N$ and then substitute these equations into the first given equation to solve for $N$. From the second given equation, we have $a=N+7$. From the third given equation, we have $b=N-7$. From the fourth given equation, we have $c=N/7$. Plugging these equations into the first given equation to eliminate $a$, $b$, and $c$, we have $(N+7)+(N-7)+(N/7)=60\Rightarrow N=\boxed{28}$.
