$x = 50$

$x/5 = 10$

To solve for the variable $color(blue)x$ , we need to make it by itself.

To do so, we multiply $color(blue)5$ to both sides of the equation:
$x/5 quadcolor(blue)(*quad5) = 10 quadcolor(blue)(*quad5)$

$x/cancel(5) cancel(quadcolor(blue)(*quad5)) = 10 quadcolor(blue)(*quad5)$

$x = 50$

Hope this helps!
