Solve the equation.

4/7 = 10/X

x=

Answer 1

17.5

Explanation:

`(4)/(7) = (10)/(x) \\`

Use cross multiplication.

4x = 7 × 10

4x = 70

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 70/4

x = 17.5

Answer 2

x = 17.5

Explanation:

4/7 = 10/X

We can use cross products to solve for x

4*x = 7 * 10

4x = 70

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 70/4

x = 17.5
