5=0.05x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
0.05x=5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{5}{0.05}
Divide both sides by 0.05.
x=\frac{500}{5}
Expand \frac{5}{0.05} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=100
Divide 500 by 5 to get 100.
