 7        2     
--- = ----------
9*x   9*(x - 35)
$$\frac{7}{9 x} = \frac{2}{9 \left(x - 35\right)}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{7}{9 x} = \frac{2}{9 \left(x - 35\right)}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 7/9

b1 = x

a2 = 2/9

b2 = -35 + x

so we get the equation
$$\frac{7 \left(x - 35\right)}{9} = \frac{2 x}{9}$$
$$\frac{7 x}{9} - \frac{245}{9} = \frac{2 x}{9}$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{7 x}{9} = \frac{2 x}{9} + \frac{245}{9}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{5 x}{9} = \frac{245}{9}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 5/9
x = 245/9 / (5/9)

We get the answer: x = 49
