Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

To solve an equation for a variable, we need to isolate (get the variable alone on one side)

(the order of the following was determined by PEMDAS)

5x + 5 = 5 (10 ÷ 5) [simplify inside parentheses]

5x + 5 = 5 (2)

5x + 5 = 10

- 5 -5 [subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x]

5x = 5

÷5 ÷5 [divide both sides to get x]

x = 1

hope this helps!!
