In a bag of candy, there are five red candies for every two green candies. If there are 35 total candies in the bag,
which of the following is the total number of green candies in the bag?

5:2 is the same as 5x:2x where 2x is the # of green candies.
----
Equation:
5x + 2x = 35
7x = 35
x = 5
---
# of green = 2x = 10
