60=10\left(x+1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5\left(x+1\right).
60=10x+10
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by x+1.
10x+10=60
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
10x=60-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
10x=50
Subtract 10 from 60 to get 50.
x=\frac{50}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
x=5
Divide 50 by 10 to get 5.
