Question

$$\frac{50}{x}=10$$

Solve for x

$x=5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $0$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $x$.

$$50=10x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$10x=50$$

Divide both sides by $10$.

$$x=\frac{50}{10}$$

Divide $50$ by $10$ to get $5$.

$$x=5$$
