Simple...what fun!
To solve for this type of problem...it's real simple!
I will show you the easiest and fastest way to solve...
so..you have...
[tex] \frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{35} [/tex]
Just..CROSS MULTIPLY!!
2*35=70
and
5*x=5x
Leaving you with....
5x=70
Easy...now divide!!
[tex] \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{70}{5} [/tex]
x=14
To check your work...plug it in....
[tex] \frac{2}{5} = \frac{14}{35} [/tex]
simplify...
14/7=2
and
35/7=5
Thus, your answer.
