Answer 1

HEY MATE,;:::::::__________


2:5 = 14:x

2/5 =14/x

2×x =14 ×5
x =(14× 5) /2

x = 35

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 2:5=14:x and we have to find the value of x.

We can write this in ratio form as

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{14}{x}$

On cross multiplying, we get

$2\times x=14\times 5\\2x=70$

Divide both sides by 2, we get

$x=35$

Therefore, the value of x is 35.
