Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

(Not sure how I was supposed to do the model..so I ended up doing it this way..)

3x-5=10

Add 5 on both sides and then you get

3x=15

divide both sides by 3 and then you get

x=5

(Hopefully you can see my model even if it's just a little...)
For the model I drew 3 rectangles and put an x inside each one of them. for the -5, I drew 5 squares with a minus symbol/sign inside. And then I put an equal sign beside and I drew 10 squares with nothing inside but you can draw positive signs in it to show that it's positive..

So basically mines was

3 rectangles with x inside -5 squares with - inside = 10 squares
