[tex]\huge\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Random note:}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{(We will solve for your given question as well because it}\\\large\textsf{pops up in solving for your question.)}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Solving for your original answer:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{5 + 10x = 20}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{10x + 5 = 20}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{SUBTRACT 5 to BOTH SIDES:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{10x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Simplify it!}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{10x = 20 - 5}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{10x = 15}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{DIVIDE 10 to BOTH SIDES:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{10x}{10}=\dfrac{15}{10}}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Simplify it!}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{15}{10}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{15\div5}{10\div5}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{3}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{x = 1 \dfrac{1}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{x = 1.5}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Therefore, the overall answer should be:}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\boxed{\star\boxed{\mathsf{\ x= \dfrac{3}{2} \ }}\star}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{And to answer your question, the very}\\\\\huge\textbf{first step in solving for this equation}\\\\\huge\textbf{[5 + 10x = 20] is:}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\boxed{\textsf{Option D. Subtract 5 to both sides}}\huge\checkmark\\\\\\\\\\\large\text{Look at the explanation above to see how we chose that.}\\\\\large\text{Remember: addition opposite is subtration \& subtraction opposite}\\\large\text{is addition, whereas multiplication is division \& divsion is}\\\large\text{is multiplication.}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}[/tex]
