Question

If X/7=Y/5 then what does 5X equal

Answer 1

Answer:

7y

Step-by-step explanation:

By cross multiplication

$\frac{x}{7} = \frac{y}{5} \\ 5x = 7y$

Answer 2

Answer:

$5x=7y$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following relationship

$\frac{x}{7}=\frac{y}{5}$

Based on the relationship between the variables X and Y that we know, we must find out what the expression "5x" is in terms of the variable y.

Then we solve the equation for x

$x=\frac{7y}{5}$

Now multiply by 5 both sides of equality

$5x=\frac{5*7y}{5}$

$5x=7y$

Finally we have that 5x equals 7y
