To solve the equation x/5 = 2 for x, you need to isolate x, meaning you want to get x by itself on one side of the equation.

To do that, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 5, since 5 is the denominator of x/5, to cancel out the denominator:

(x/5) * 5 = 2 * 5

This simplifies to:

x = 10

Therefore, the solution to the equation x/5 = 2 is x = 10.
