Solve for x : 5/3x=25

Answer 1

To solve for x in the equation 5/3x = 25, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, multiply both sides of the equation by 3/5 to eliminate the fraction.

(3/5) * (5/3x) = (3/5) * 25

The 3's in the numerator and denominator cancel out, leaving:

1/x = 3/5 * 25

Multiply 3/5 by 25:

1/x = (3/5) * 25 = 75/5 = 15

Now, we have:

1/x = 15

To solve for x, take the reciprocal of both sides (switch the numerator and denominator):

x/1 = 1/15

Simplifying,

x = 1/15

Therefore, the solution is x = 1/15.
