Answer 2

The unknown number is 1.

Explanation:

You have to form an expression. So let's make the unknown number as x. Firstly, a number is multiplied by 5 :

`x * 5`

`= 5x`

Secondly, 5 is added to product and you will get 10 :

`5x + 5 = 10`

Lastly, you have to solve :

`5x + 5 = 10`

`5x = 10 - 5`

`5x = 5`

`x = 5 / 5`

`x = 1`
