Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle 10 = ax + bx$

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Factor:                                                                                                               $\displaystyle 10 = ax + bx \rightarrow 10 = x(a + b)$
2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide a + b on both sides:                           $\displaystyle 10 = ax + bx \rightarrow x = \frac{10}{a + b}$
