![x=\frac{14}{5}](/tpl/images/0234/3272/32d5c.png)
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of 5 and a number x is 14
Product means the multiplication, multiply the number 5 Â and x becomes 5x
5x is 14. 5x is equal to 14
The equation becomes ![5x=14](/tpl/images/0234/3272/6c177.png)
Now we divide 5 on both sides to get 'x' alone
![5x=14](/tpl/images/0234/3272/6c177.png)
![\frac{5x}{5} =\frac{14}{5}](/tpl/images/0234/3272/8ae5c.png)
![x=\frac{14}{5}](/tpl/images/0234/3272/32d5c.png)
So the value of x is 14/5
