2x+10=20

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 2x + 10 = 20 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation: \[ 2x + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10 \] Simplifying gives: \[ 2x = 10 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 2: \[ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{10}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 5 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 5 \).
