D.) x = 5, because when you plug five in for x, 5 + 5 = 10 is correct.

Hey there!


\bold{x+5=10}


  1. \bold{A.)x=2}

  2. \bold{B.)x=3}

  3. \bold{C.)x=4}

  4. \bold{D.)x=5}

Okay, so first we have to do the OPPOSITE of
\bold{addition} (which is
\bold{subtraction})

So,
\bold{subtract} by
\bold{5} on each of the sides


  • \bold{x+5-5}
    \bold{=10-5}

  • \bold{Cancel:5-5} because that gives you the result of
    \bold{0} which is
    NOT our answer

  • \bold{Keep:10-5} because it gives us the result your "
    \bold{x-term} "

  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:x=5}}}

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
