Answer:

x = 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{8}{7} = \frac{x}{5} [/tex]

To find x first cross multiply

We have

7x = 8 × 5

7x = 40

Divide both sides by 7

That's

[tex] \frac{7x}{7} = \frac{40}{7} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{40}{7} [/tex]

x = 5.7142

We have the final answer as

x = 5.7 to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
