Answer:
The unknown factor is , 2
[tex]2 \times 5 = 5 \times 2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown factor be y;
[tex]2 \times 5 = 5 \times y[/tex]
Solve for y:
[tex]10 = 5y[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5 we get;
[tex]\frac{10}{5} =\frac{5y}{5}[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]y = 2[/tex]
Therefore, the unknown factor is, 2
