We first distribute the 4 to each term within the parentheses:
4 * x = 4x
4 * -5 = -20
The equation now becomes:
4x - 20 + x = 10
Combining like terms:
5x - 20 = 10
Next, we isolate the variable by adding 20 to both sides:
5x - 20 + 20 = 10 + 20
5x = 30
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 5:
5x/5 = 30/5
x = 6
The solution to the equation is x = 6.
4(x-5)+x = 10
