Repeat after me; "Isolate the variable"
(I'm not kidding. You want to remember this)
Again; "Isolate the variable"
now, 1/5x = 121
so, 1/5x *5= 121*5
so x = 121*5
and you can do the rest.

multiply the inverse of 1/5, which is 5/1 to both sides. x=605
if you have a calculator you can just divide each side by 1/5. you get the same answer

1/5x=121
.2(x)=121
121 divided by .2 = 605
check answer: 605 times .2 equals 121.0
