Question

Solve for x: 5/7 = x/35

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

5/7= x/35 is the same as x÷35=5/7. In order to solve this, you need to do the inverse operation, which is multiplication. So you would do 35×5/7. Your product would be 175/7 which is the same as 25 since 7 goes into 175, 25 times. So x=25.

Answer 2

So to start, you need to figure out what 35 goes into 7 if that makes sense, which is 5, (5x7=35) and so since you have to make each side equal you times 5 by fix and get 25!

Answer: x=25
