To find the answer to the equation "Five times what number plus 10 equals 20?", we need to isolate the variable (the unknown number).
Let's set up the equation:
5x + 10 = 20
To solve for x, we need to get rid of the 10 on the left side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 10 from both sides:
5x + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10
5x = 10
Now, to isolate x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 5:
5x/5 = 10/5
x = 2
So the answer is x = 2.

To solve the equation "5x + 10 = 20", we need to isolate the variable x.
First, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:
5x + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10
5x = 10
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
5x/5 = 10/5
x = 2
Therefore, the answer is 2.
