To solve this equation, we first need to distribute the coefficients:
2.5(x-10) + 3(x+10) = 562.5x - 25 + 3x + 30 = 56
Now we can combine like terms:
2.5x + 3x - 25 + 30 = 565.5x + 5 = 56
Next, we isolate the term with x by subtracting 5 from both sides:
5.5x = 51
And finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 5.5:
x = 51/5.5x = 9.2727
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 9.2727.
