The solution of 5x + 10 = 5 is x = -1.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 10 and y = 5 meet at x = -1-6-4-224-30-20-1010203040x = -1y = 5x + 10y = 5
The lines y = 5x + 10 and y = 5 meet at x = -1. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    5x+10=55x + 10 = 5
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    5x+10−10=5−10 ⇒ 5x=−55x + 10 - 10 = 5 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = -5
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=−55 ⇒ x=−1\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-5}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = -1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = -1 back into the equation.

    5⋅(−1)+10=−5+10=5✓5\cdot(-1) + 10 = -5 + 10 = 5 \checkmark
