Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "Looks like you have it good!
\n" ); document.write( "Let's first get this so there are no fractions. So we need to multiply both sides. I have only 1 question. Is the x in like this:
\n" ); document.write( "2/5x=2/7 or 2/5(x)=2/7 I'll solve both. The first one is multiplied by 35x:
\n" ); document.write( "(35x)2/5x=35x(2/7) This will turn out to be:
\n" ); document.write( "14=10x Divide both sides by 10 will give us:
\n" ); document.write( "x=14/10 or 7/5
\n" ); document.write( "2/5(x)=2/7 This we'll multiply by 35
\n" ); document.write( "(35)2/5(x)=35(2/7) This will turn out as:
\n" ); document.write( "14x=10 Divide both sides by 14 will give us:
\n" ); document.write( "x=10/14 or 5/7
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you out. Let me know.
