Find the missing value. SOLVE FOR X

5x + 10 = 510

The equation is: 5x + 10 = 510

Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the variable.
5x + 10 - 10 = 510 - 10
5x = 500

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x.
5x ÷ 5 = 500 ÷ 5


x = 100Therefore, the solution is 

x = 100.
