Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x = 5x - 10 \\ 3x - 5x = - 10 \\ - 2x = - 10 \\ x = 5$

Answer 2

Solution :-

Let us assume that, the given number is equal to x .

So,

→ Three times of number = 3 * x = 3x

and,

→ Five times of number = 5 * x = 5x

A/q,

→ Five times of number - Three times of number = 10

→ 5x - 3x = 10

→ 2x = 10

dividing both sides by 2,

→ x = 5 (Ans.)
