Answer
$x = 1\frac{3}{7}$
Work Step by Step
$\frac{1}{5}x = \frac{2}{7}$
We need to isolate the variable $x$ by multiplying through by the reciprocal of the coefficient of $x$ as shown below:
$\frac{1}{5}x \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{5}{1}$
Simplify to get:
$x = \frac{10}{7}$
Leaving the answer in the simplest form, we have:
$x = 1\frac{3}{7}$
