Multply both sides of the equation by 7.

\dfrac{x}{7}\cdot 7=\dfrac{4}{5}\cdot 7\\\\x=\dfrac{28}{5}=5.6

_____

When the variable is in the numerator of a proportion like this, you can solve it by multiplying by that denominator. That multiplication cancels the denominator and gives you the value of the variable.

In general, you multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. When that coefficient is 1/7, you multiply by 7/1. Of course, you know that 7/7 = 1 and that x/1 = x.

Answer:

15 outfits

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 possibilities for pants and 5 possibilities for tops.

The tailor has 3 possible pants to choose from and 5 possible tops to choose from. Using the Fundamental Counting Principle, we can simply multiply these two together to get the total number of possible outfits:

3 * 5 = 15 outfits

Or, we could make a tree diagram. See attachment. It will give the same answer.

Solve Ax − By = C for x.
maria [59]

Answer:

For this case we have the following equation:

Ax - By = C

From here, we must clear the value of x.

Adding By on both sides:

Ax = By + C

Then, dividing both sides by A we have:

x =By +C/A

Answer:

x = By+C/A

x equals the quantity B times and plus C all over A
