Answer 1

you could write it as:

`(5x)/(3) = (20)/(21 )`
Cross multiply

`105x = 60`
divide 105 on both sides
Answer:

`x = (60)/(105)`

`x = (4)/(7)`

Answer 2

x = 4/7

Explanation:

5/3 x = 20/21

Multiply by 3/5 on each side to isolate x

3/5 *5/3 x = 20/21 * 3/5

x = 20/21 * 3/5

Rewriting the right hand side

x = 20/5 * 3/21

x =4 * 1/7

x = 4/7
