2\left(x-5\right)=5\times 10
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2.
2x-10=5\times 10
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-5.
2x-10=50
Multiply 5 and 10 to get 50.
2x=50+10
Add 10 to both sides.
2x=60
Add 50 and 10 to get 60.
x=\frac{60}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=30
Divide 60 by 2 to get 30.
