Question

7. Use the Division Property of Equality to complete the following statement. (1 point)

Answer 1

For this case we have the following equation:

$5x = 2y$

To find the value of "x", we use the division equality property, that is, we divide by 5 on both sides of the equation:

$\frac {5x} {5} = \frac {2y} {5}\\x = \frac {2} {5} y$

Thus, using the mentioned property we have to: $x = \frac {2} {5}y$

Answer:

$x = \frac {2} {5} y$
