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

5(x-10) = 65
First, we distribute 5 to the terms inside the brackets:
5x - 50 = 65
Next, we isolate x by bringing -50 to the other side of the equation:
5x = 65 + 50
Combining like terms gives:
5x = 115
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
x = 115/5
This simplifies to:
x = 23
