Question

What is x+2/14= x/10

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x+2}{14} =\frac{x}{10}$

Multiply both sides by 10:

$\frac{5(x+2)}{7} =x$

Multiply both sides by 7:

$5(x+2)=7$

Expand using distributive rule: $x(y+z)=xy+xz$

Hence, $5*x+5*2=7x$

$5x+10=7x$

$2x=10$

Therefore, $x=5$.
