To solve the formula for x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

Given the formula C = 0.5x + 10, we can start by subtracting 10 from both sides to get rid of the constant term:

C - 10 = 0.5x

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.5 to solve for x:

(C - 10) / 0.5 = x

Therefore, the correct equation that solves the formula for x is:

x = (C - 10) / 0.5
