Question

What is 35-x/5=x/2?

Answer 1

$\star \ 35- \dfrac{x}{5} = \dfrac{x}{2}$ 

$\star \ 350-2x=5x$  $|| \ Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 10 \ ||$ 

$\star \ 350=5x+2x$  $|| \ Add \ 2x \ to \ each \ side \ ||$ 

$\star \ 350=7x$   $|| \ Combine \ like \ terms \ ||$

$\star \ 350/7=7x/7$   $|| \ Divide \ each \ side \ by \ 7 \ ||$ 

$\star \ x=50$

Answer 2

X=10 is the answer.
