First, you distribute 5 into (2x-3), as an outcome of 10x-15=5x-10

Secondly, you need to add the 15 to the -10 to get 10x=5x+5

Thirdly, you need to subtract 5x from 10x, you'd get 5x=5

Finally you divide 5x by 5 to get (1)

The answer is B) 1

Any further explaination needed please ask.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Use distributive property:

5(2x - 3) = 5x - 10

10x - 15 = 5x - 10

Isolate the variable:

10x = 5x - 10 + 15

10x = 5x + 5

10x - 5x = 5

5x = 5

x = 1
