Simplifying
10 + 5x = 5x + 10
Reorder the terms:
10 + 5x = 10 + 5x
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
5x = 10 + -10 + 5x
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
5x = 0 + 5x
5x = 5x
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
5x + -5x = 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
