Expanding the equation, we have:
4(x - 5) + x = 10
=> 4x - 20 + x = 10
Now let's combine the x terms:
5x - 20 = 10
To isolate x, let's add 20 to both sides:
5x - 20 + 20 = 10 + 20
=> 5x = 30
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 5:
5x/5 = 30/5
=> x = 6
So the solution to the equation is x = 6.
Solve for x. 4(x - 5) + x = 10
