Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

(⅕)(x)(5/1) = (6/3)(5/1)

(x)(1/5)(5/1) = (2)(5)

Because multiplication is commutative

(x)(1/5)(5/1) = (2)(5)

(x)(5/5) = 10

x = 10

Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

Notice that in order to solve for the final solution of x, we must look at the second step.

We use the multiplicative property of equality and multiply both sides by 5. When we do so, the left side results in simply:
(1)/(5) x*5=(5)/(5) x=x. Meanwhile, the right side results in:
(6)/(3) *5=(30)/(3) =10

Thus, we have x = 10.

Hope this helps!
