Answer:

  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe you want to find x such that ...

  2/7 = x/(x +10)

  2(x +10) = 7x . . . . . . multiply by 7(x+10)

  20 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify

  4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

You can almost solve this "by inspection" if you recognize the difference of the denominator and numerator is 5 on the left and 10 on the right. If you multiply the fraction on the left by 2/2, you get 4/14, the values in x/(x+10) in the fraction on the right.
