7/35 = 5/x
You have a proportion here.
A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal. The numbers that form a proportion are called the terms of proportion. There is a special relationship between the terms, called the cross products property.
In the proportion that you have, 7 and x are called the extremes of the proportion, and 35 and 5 are called the means. In a proportion, the product of the means equals to the product of the extremes. So,
7/35 = 5/x
(7)(x) = (35)(5)
7x = 175
7x/7 = 175/7
x = 25
Thus 7 is to 35 as 5 is to 25.

Oh, what a happy little question we have here! If we look closely, we can see that 7 times 5 equals 35. So, following that pattern, 5 times what number equals 25? That's right, it's 5! Just like painting a beautiful landscape, sometimes all we need is a gentle touch to see the answer right in front of us.
2/5 + 6/7 = (2×7)/(5×7) + (6×5)/(7×5) = 14/35 + 30/35 = (14+30)/35 = 44/35 = (35+9)/35 = 1 9/35
7 multiplied by 5 is 35. 7 multiplied by 5 = 35
7
2/5 + 2/7 = 24/35 2/5 + 2/7 =(2/5 * 7/7) + (2/7 * 5/5) =14/35 + 10/35 =24/35
The fraction 5/35 can be taken to its simplest form in 1/7 (one over seven).35 is divisible by 7 (7 x 5 = 35)5 is only divisible by itself (5 x 1 = 5)1/7
