Answer:

35

Explanation:

I am assuming you want me to answer the equation provided in the picture, therefore I will provide you with the answer.

So we have
(3)/(5) x = 21

When it comes to equations with a variable, our goal is to isolate the variable, so let's start.

(3)/(5) x = 21

1. Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction :

(3x)/(5) = 21

2. Multiply both sides by the denominator :

5 * 3/5 = 3

5 * 21 = 105

3x = 105

3. Divide both sides by 3 :

(3x)/(3) = (105)/(3 )

x = 35
