Let's solve for x and see what properties are used

First, add 10 to both sides of the equation


\begin{gathered} 5x-10=50 \\ 5x-10+10=50+10 \\ 5x=60 \end{gathered}

Now, divide by 5 on both sides of the equation


\begin{gathered} (5x)/(5)=(60)/(5) \\ x=12 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Adition and division
