5/7=x/10
Cross multiply
(5)(10)=50
(7)(x)=7x
7x=50
Divide by 7 for both sides
7x/7=50/7
x=50/7 or x=7 1/7
Answer: x=50/7 or x=7 1/7
Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{50}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
With fractions, you can cross multiply
[tex]\frac{5}{7} =\frac{x}{10}\\10*5 = 7*x\\50 = 7x\\x = \frac{50}{7}[/tex]
Double check:
[tex]\frac{5}{7} =\frac{\frac{50}{7}}{10}\\\frac{5}{7}=\frac{50}{700}=\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
