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.
