For this case we have the following equation:


5x = 2y

To find the value of "x", we use the division equality property, that is, we divide by 5 on both sides of the equation:


\frac {5x} {5} = \frac {2y} {5}\\x = \frac {2} {5} y

Thus, using the mentioned property we have to:
x = \frac {2} {5}y

Answer:


x = \frac {2} {5} y
