Question 340366
You have two equal signs here. Please repost with the correct equation.



{{{2x+10-x=5x-15+1}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{x+10=5x-15+1}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x+10=5x-14}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=5x-14-10}}} Subtract {{{10}}} from both sides.



{{{x-5x=-14-10}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



{{{-4x=-14-10}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4x=-24}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-24)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=6}}} Reduce.
