Answer:

x = 28/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve

5x          7

------ = ---------

8            2

Using cross products

5x*2 = 7 * 8

10x = 56

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 56/10

x = 28/5

Answer:

x=5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x : 8 = 7 : 2

5x × 2 = 8 × 7

5x=[tex]\frac{56}{2}[/tex]

5x = 28

X = 5.6
