Let's call the number x. The equation can be written as 5x + 10 = 20.

To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Subtract 10 from both sides:
5x + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10
5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5:
5x/5 = 10/5
x = 2

So the answer is D) 6.

Answer 2

To find the number, let's set up the equation:

5x + 10 = 20

First, let's subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

5x + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10

This simplifies to:

5x = 10

Next, let's divide both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5 = 10/5

This simplifies to:

x = 2

So, the number is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 6.

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable, which represents the unknown number. Let's break down the given information into an equation.

"Five times what number plus 10 equals 20?"

Let's assume the unknown number to be x.

So, the equation would be: 5x + 10 = 20.

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation.

5x + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10

Simplifying the equation, we have:

5x = 10

To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 5.

5x/5 = 10/5

Simplifying further, we get:

x = 2

Therefore, the unknown number (x) is equal to 2.
