________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________
10 + (x/6 ) = 5 ;  solve for "x" ;
_____________________________
 Subtract "10" from each side ;
______________________________
   10 + (x/6 ) - 10 = 5 - 10 ;
______________________________
  to get:
____________________________
   x / 6 =  -5  ;
__________________
Now, multiply EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
______________________________
   (x/6) *6 = -5 * (6) ;
_______________________________
To get:    x = 30 .
