10+=+%28x-5%29+%2F+3.......both sides multiply by 3

3%2A10+=+3%28x+-5%29+%2F+3

30+=+cross%283%29%28x+-5%29+%2Fcross%28+3%29

30+=+x+-5+...........to both sides add 5

30%2B5+=+x+-+5%2B5+

35+=+x+%96cross%28+5%29%2Bcross%285+%29

35+=+x+

10 = (X – 5) / 3
10+=+%28X+-+5%29%2F3

X - 5 = 30 -------- Cross-multiplying

X = 30 + 5, or highlight_green%28X+=+35%29
