a=2x-10
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-5.
2x-10=a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=a+10
Add 10 to both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{a+10}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{a+10}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{a}{2}+5
Divide a+10 by 2.
a=2x-10
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-5.
