[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve this equation, first distribute the 5 to both terms in the parentheses:

5x + 10 = 30

Next, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

5x = 20

Finally, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:

x = 4

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.
