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

Answer:

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

$\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{65}$

$2 \times 65 = 5 \times x$

$130 = 5x$

$x = \frac{130}{5}$

$\color{hotpink}x = 26$

Therefore , the correct option is :-

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