Ok from this equation we can simplify it in order we can find it easier
if we multiply ½ with (4x−5) that would be equal to (4x−5)/2 

We will have two fractions with the same denominator (2) so we can just add the numerators together and the denominator wont change

so we will have [(4x−5)+5]/2=10

Lets multiply both sides with 2 and we will have

[(4x−5)+5]=20

4x-5+5=20

4x=20

divide both sides with 4

4x/4=20/4

x=5
