1. Solve for x. 42/x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x=84/5

1. Multiply both sides by 2/1. New equation: 84/x=5/1

2. Multiply both sides by x. New equation: 84=5x

3. Divide both sides by 5. New equation: 84/5=x

x=16.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We will have to solve this question by Cross multiplying

So let's solve the given question

42/x=5/2

So let's cross multiply

42*2=5x

84=5x

We will have to make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 5

x=16.8

Therefore the final answer is 16.8
