Step-1 – Given

The given proportion is $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{25}$ .

Step-2 – To determine

We have to solve the proportion by using algebra.

Step-3 – Calculation

Solve the given proportion.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{25} \\ \frac{2}{5} \cdot 25 = \frac{x}{25} \cdot 25 [multiply each side by 25] \\ \frac{50}{5} = x [simplify] \\ x = 10 [divide] \end{matrix}$

So, the solution is $x = 10$ .
