5x=35
35/5=7
x=7

hope this helps

Answer 2

The solution is, x = 175

Explanation:

Given phrase,

The quotient of x and 5 is equal to 35,

∵ Quotient of x and 5 =
`(x)/(5)`

So, the required equation is,

`(x)/(5)=35`

Multiply both sides by 5,

`x=35* 5 = 175`

Hence, the solution of the given equation is, x = 175.
