The answer to the question provided is 10.

Explanation:

☆Cross multiply.


(2x + 5)/(20) = (x + 5)/(12) \\ \\ 20(x + 5) = 12(2x + 5) \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 20x + 100 = 24x + 60 \\ ( - 24x \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = - 24x)/( - 4x + 100 = 60) \\ ( \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - 100 = - 100)/( ( - 4x)/( - 4) = ( - 40)/( - 4) ) \\ x = 10
