Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

2/7 = x/x+10

Cross multiply

2(x+10) = 7x

Expand the bracket

2x + 20 = 7x

Subtract 7x from btoh sides

2x+20-7x = 7x - 7x

2x-7x+20 = 0

-5x + 20 = 0

-5x = -20

Divide both sides by -5;

-5x/-5 = -20/-5

x = 4

hence the value of x is 4
