Answer: x = 35

Explanation: In this problem, notice that D is being divided by 5,

so to get D by itself, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

Notice that on the left side, the 5 and 5 cancel

each other out, so we are just left with D.

On the right side, we have (7)(5) which is 35.

So x = 35.

Finally, remember that we can check our answer

by plugging a 35 back into the original equation.

So we have
((35))/(5) = 7.

Since this is a true statement, we know that our answer is correct, x = 35.
