Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Equation

The given equation is \(5x = 140\).

Step 2: Isolate the Variable

To solve for \(x\), divide both sides of the equation by 5: \[ x = \frac{140}{5} \]

Step 3: Simplify the Expression

Calculate the division: \[ x = 28 \]

Final Answer

The correct answer is C. \( \boxed{x = 28} \)
