Given the equation


(4)/(7)=(10)/(x)

In order to find x

step 1: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators


\text{LCM }=7x

step 2: Multiply both sides of the fraction by the LCM


(4)/(7)*7x=(10)/(x)*7x

step 3: Simply the fractions, and solve for x


\begin{gathered} 4x=70 \\ x=(70)/(4) \\ x=(35)/(2) \end{gathered}
