\frac{a}{5} = \frac{x}{2 x}

a = \frac{5}{2}

Decimal Notation

\frac{a}{5} = \frac{x}{2 x}

Cross multiply

a \cdot 2 = 5

Divide both sides by

2

a = \frac{5}{2}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

a = \frac{5}{2}

200 \cdot 1 0^{9} = \frac{26.3}{x}

\frac{( 6 - x )}{x} = \frac{4}{x - 1}

\frac{3.5}{x} = 7

\frac{4}{( x - 1 ) - 3} = 1

\frac{40}{x - 2} = \frac{30}{x}
