Set up the equation. Don't solve it.
5x + 10 = 20
Let's say the number is represented by 'x'. The equation can be set up as:
5x + 10 = 20
To set up the equation, let's first assign a variable to the unknown number. Let's call it "x".
The problem states "Five times what number plus 10 equals 20?" So, we can write this as an equation:
5x + 10 = 20
In this equation, 5x represents "five times the unknown number" and adding 10 to it gives us the total of 20.
Now, the next step would be to solve the equation for x, but you specified not to solve it.
