To solve the equation \( 4(x - 5) + x = 10 \), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the \( 4 \) in the expression:
\[
4x - 20 + x = 10
\]
2. Combine like terms:
\[
5x - 20 = 10
\]
3. Add \( 20 \) to both sides:
\[
5x = 30
\]
4. Divide both sides by \( 5 \):
\[
x = 6
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
\boxed{6}
\]
