Question

If -5/7 = x /28 find the value of x​

Answer 1

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

              Given data:- $\frac{-5}{7} =\frac{x}{28} .$

              To find:- Value of the expression.

              Solution:-

• Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method.

• Here we will use the transposition method.

• Transposition is one of the linear equations.

• To solve the transposition method we wi.ll Identify the variables and constants.

• Then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Now Simplify the equation using arithmetic operations.

       By using the transposition method.

        we get,

                  $\begin{array}{l}28\left(-\frac{5}{7}\right)=x \\x=-20.\end{array}$

       Hence we will get the value $x=-20.$

Answer 2

In context to question asked,

We have to determine the value of "x".

So, from above,

We have,

$-\frac{5}{7} = \frac{x}{28}$

So, for determining the value of "x" we will cross multiply the opposite terms,

We will get,

$-\frac{5}{7} = \frac{x}{28}\\=>-(28\times 5) = 7\times x\\=>x = \frac{-28\times 5}{7}\\=>x = -20$

Hence, value of "x' will be -20.
