collect the like terms  2x = 10 − 5  2x = 5  divide both side by 2  2x/2 = 5/2  therefore  x = 5/2  x = 2(1/2)
$${collect}\:{the}\:{like}\:{terms} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{x}\:=\:\mathrm{10}\:−\:\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{x}\:=\:\mathrm{5} \\ $$$${divide}\:{both}\:{side}\:{by}\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{x}/\mathrm{2}\:=\:\mathrm{5}/\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${therefore} \\ $$$${x}\:=\:\mathrm{5}/\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${x}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
