Final answer:

An equation that can be used to find the value of x is 5x - 30 = 3x + 10. The value of x is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation that can be used to find the value of x is:

5x - 30 = 3x + 10

To solve for x, we can subtract 3x from both sides:

5x - 3x - 30 = 3x - 3x + 10

Combine like terms:

2x - 30 = 10

Then, we can add 30 to both sides:

2x - 30 + 30 = 10 + 30

Combine like terms:

2x = 40

Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

x = 20
