Answer:


\boxed{\boxed{\sf x=4}}

Explanation:


\star \:\:\sf 5(x-10)=30-15x \: \:\star

Expand:


\Longrightarrow \sf 5x-50=30-15x

Add 50 to both sides:


\Longrightarrow \sf 5x-50+50=30-15x+50


\Longrightarrow \sf 5x=-15x+80

Add 15x to both sides:


\Longrightarrow \sf 5x+15x=-15x+80+15x


\Longrightarrow \sf 20x=80

Divide both sides by 20:


\Longrightarrow \sf \cfrac{20x}{20}=\cfrac{80}{20}


\Longrightarrow \sf x=4
