Answer 2

Hey there!

Let’s leave number unknown.. so we label it as a “e” for equivalent

NEW EQUATION: 5/10 = e/10

FIRST: you have to CROSS MULTIPLY your given values

5 • 10 = e • 2

5 • 10 = 50

e • 2 = 2e

NEW EQUATION: 2e = 50

SECOND: DIVIDE BOTH of the SIDES by 2

2e/2 = 50/2

Cancel out: 2/2 because that gives you 1

Keep: 50/2 because it helps us solve for e

e = 50/2

= 50/2

= 25

Answer: e = 25 ✅

Overall answer for your given equation: 25/10 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
