Answer:

you didn't add options for the sentences, but

x-5 =-10 (add 5 to both sides to get x alone)

x= -5

so anything that has to do with x equaling - 5 would be correct

after reading through the sentences, the correct answer is:

a number subtracted from five is equal to negative ten

because that sentence is saying " 5 - n = - 10 " and that's not what's happening
