Took the test

Answer 2

x = 8,

Explanation:

`\displaystyle (4)/(x) = (5)/(10)`.

`x \\e 0` for it is a denominator. Multiply both sides with the product of the two denominators:
`10\;x`:

`\displaystyle (4)/(x)\cdot (10\; x) = (5)/(10)\cdot (10\;x)`.

`40 = 5\; x`.

Multiply both sides by one over the coefficient of x:

`\displaystyle (1)/(5) * 40 = (1)/(5)* 5\; x`.

`x = 8`.
