x=0.5\left(x+10\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -10 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5\left(x+10\right).
x=0.5x+5
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.5 by x+10.
x-0.5x=5
Subtract 0.5x from both sides.
0.5x=5
Combine x and -0.5x to get 0.5x.
x=\frac{5}{0.5}
Divide both sides by 0.5.
x=\frac{50}{5}
Expand \frac{5}{0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=10
Divide 50 by 5 to get 10.
