(4)/(x) =(5)/(10) [4 over x equals 5 over 10]

Solve for x, so you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation.


(4)/(x) =(5)/(10) Multiply x on both sides


(x)(4)/(x)=(5)/(10) (x)


4=(5)/(10) x Multiply the inverse of 5/10, which is 10/5, to get rid of the fraction and get x by itself


((10)/(5) )4=((10)/(5) )(5)/(10) x


(40)/(5) =x

8 = x
