Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides by the inverse of 1/5.
The inverse just changes the denominator and numerator.
So, 1/5 changes to 5/1.
Now multiply it on both sides:
[tex](\frac{5}{1}) \frac{1}{5}x = 10 (\frac{5}{1})\\x = 50[/tex]
Therefore, the answer to your question is x = 50.
Check:
[tex]\frac{1}{5} (50) = 10\\\\\frac{50}{5} = 10\\\\10 = 10[/tex]
Hope this helps!!
