Depends if it's (5/7x)^2 or if it's (5/7)x^2.
Also depends if it's (4/21)x or 4/(21x).

---

Most probably you're asking about (5/7)x^2 = (4/21)x.

Multiply 5/7 * 3/3 to get a common denominator of (15/21)x^2 = (4/21)x.

Multiply both sides by 21 to get 15x^2 = 4x

Subtract 4x from both sides to get 15x^2 - 4x = 0

Factor out x and 15 to get 15x(x-4/15) = 0

x cannot = 0 because you can't divide by 0 in the original equation, so x = 4/15.

Cheers
