Answer: \frac{2}{5} ; or, write in decimal form: 0.4 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite as:
_______________________
[tex]\frac{4x}{7} = \frac{8}{35}[/tex] ;
________________________
Now, "Cross-factor multiply":
that is:
_____________________
→ Given: [tex]\frac{a}{b} =\frac{c}{d}[/tex] ;
→ ad = bc ; (b≠0 ; d≠0) ;
_____________________
As such:
4x * 35 = 7 * 8 ;
_______________________
We can divide one side of the equatiuon by "4" ; and one side by "7" :
[tex]\frac{4x*35}{4*7} = \frac{7*8}{4*7}[/tex] ;
_______________________
We can simplify the "left-hand side":
"4/4 = 1 " ; and "35/7 = 5 " ; & we are left with "x * 5" ; or "5x " .
________________________
We can simplify the "right-hand side":
"7/7 = 1 " ; and: "8/4 =2 " ; to get: "2/1" ; which equals "2".
_________________________
So; we have: " 5x = 2 " ; Solve for "x" ;
__________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "5" ; to isolate "x" on one ide of the equation; & to solve for: "x" ;
__________________________
" 5x/5 = 2/5 " ; We cancel out the "5x/5" to "1x"; which equals "x":
→ x = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] ; or, write in decimal format: "x = 0.4" ;

Answer:
[tex]x = 0.4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{7}{4} x \frac{4}{7} = \frac{7}{4} x \frac{8}{35}[/tex]
Reduce the number with the greatest common factor 7
[tex]\frac{1}{4} x 4x= \frac{7}{4}x\frac{8}{35}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{7}{4}x\frac{8}{35}[/tex]
[tex]x=7x\frac{2}{35}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
