Question

2/5=x/65 solve for x
A: x=1/26
B: x=16
C: x=28
D: x=26
please help me

Answer 1

Solve : -x+26 = 0

Subtract 26 from both sides of the equation :

-x = -26

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : x = 26

Answer 2

`(2)/(5) = (x)/(65)`

`2 * 65 = 5 * x`

`130 = 5x`

`x = (130)/(5)`

`\color{hotpink}x = 26`

Therefore , the correct option is :-

`\color{plum}D) \: x = 26`
