To make the proportion true, x would have to equal 25

This proportion basically say "7 is to 35, as x is to 125"

To find out what x equals, let's divide 35 by 7. That gets us 5. So, now we know that our ratio between proportions is 5. That means that x * 5 =125. So, to find x we divide 125 by 5 and that gives us 25 for x.

Thank you for the question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day :D
