"The sum of 1010 and five times a number is 3170" translates to 1010%2B5x=3170



1010%2B5x=3170 Start with the given equation.


5x=3170-1010 Subtract 1010 from both sides.


5x=2160 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%282160%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.


x=432 Reduce.
