Hey there!

[tex] \rm{\frac{5}{x} = \frac{7}{x + 2} }[/tex]

Solve:--

[tex] \sf\rightarrow \: (7)(x) = (5)(x + 2)[/tex]

[tex] \sf\rightarrow \: 7x = 5(x + 2)[/tex]

[tex] \sf\rightarrow \: 7x = 5x + 10[/tex]

[tex] \sf\rightarrow \: 7x - 5x= 5x + 10 - 5x[/tex]

[tex] \sf\rightarrow \: 2x= 10 [/tex]

[tex] \sf\rightarrow \: \frac{ 2x}{2}= \frac{10 }{2}[/tex]

[tex] \sf\rightarrow \: x= 5[/tex]

~Done~
