Answer:

x=.5

Explanation:

First, you need to isolate the variable term, so you have to move -5 over to the other side. Since it is subtraction on this side, you add 5 to both sides to cancel out the -5, and add it to the other side.

Now we have 10x=5. To solve for the variable, we have to divide by the number in the variable term. In this case, it is 10. 10/10 is 1, so now x is alone. We have to do the same thing on the other side. 5/10 is .5.

That's the answer! It's x=.5!
