Answer: 5+5x=5x+5 meaning All Real Numbers

Explanation:

5 times 1 would equal 5 and 5 times x equals to 5x. This is the same as the other equation: 5x+5=5x+5. We can subtract 5x from both sides to have 5 on sides alone. 5=5, meaning that x is ALL REAL NUMBERS!

Hope this helps:)

Distribute first. 5•1+5•x=5x+5 then subtract each side
