To find the value of x that makes the fractions equivalent, we can set up an equation using the given information.
The equation representing the equivalent fractions is:
5/6 = 35/x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
5x = 6 * 35
Now, we can simplify the equation:
5x = 210
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 210/5
Simplifying the right side:
x = 42
Therefore, the value of x that makes the fractions equivalent is 42.
