The equation is 5(x−5)= 5x−10.
To solve for x, we can distribute the 5 on the left side of the equation:
5x - 25 = 5x - 10
Next, we can combine like terms by subtracting 5x from both sides of the equation:
-25 = -10
Since -25 does not equal -10, there is no value of x that satisfies this equation. Therefore, no number can replace x in this equation.
5(x−5)= 5x−10
no number can replace x
