<PRE><B>Question 700909</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;We are given:&lt;br&gt;

{{{(x-1)/5=(4x+2)/35}}}&lt;br&gt;

We simply need to cross multiply and solve for x as we normally do:&lt;br&gt;

{{{(x-1)*35=5*(4x+2)}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{35x-35=20x+10}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{15x-35=10}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{15x=45}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{x=45/15}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{x=3}}}&lt;br&gt;

Thus, our value for x in this case is 3.&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!  Keep practicing!  :)&lt;br&gt;
