Question

How do you solve `x/5 = 10`?

Answer 1

`x = 50`

Explanation:

`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!
