(7x-6)/10 = 5
Multiply both sides by 10:
7x-6 = 50
Add 6 to both sides:
7x = 56
Divide both sides by 7:
x = 8

cross%2810%29%28%287x-6%29%2Fcross%2810%29%29=10%2A5 Multiply both sides by 10


7x-6=50 Multiply


7x%2Bcross%28-6%2B6%29=50%2B6 Add 6 to both sides


7x=56 Add


%28cross%287%29x%29%2Fcross%287%29=56%2F7 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate "x"


x=8 Reduce
