X = what

2/X = 5

multiply through by X ( X/1 for illustrative purposes )

X/1(2/X = 5)

as you see the X's cancel each other, top an bottom, in the X/1 and 2/X terms, then the X multiplies the 5

2 = 5X

divide both sides integers by 5

2/5 = (5/5)X

2/5 = X

========check in original equation

2 divided by 2/5 is the same as 2 * 5/2

2 * 5/2 = 5

5 = 5
