According to the given data we have the following expression:

2x-5=5

In order to calculate the variable x we would have to make the following calculation:

2x-5=5

First we would move the number -5 to the order side, so:

2x=5+5

Next we would add the numbers 5+5

So:

2x=10

Finally, we would calculate the variable by moving the 2 to the other side, because the number 2 is multiplying x, it would be moved to the other side dividing 10, therefore:

x=10/2

x=5

The value of x would be 5
