This equation<span> has x terms on both the left and the right. To solve an </span>equation<span> like this, you must first get the variables on the same side of the </span>equal<span> sign. You can subtract 5x on each side of the </span>equal<span> sign, which gives a new </span>equation<span>: x + </span>5<span> = 10. hope this helps</span>
