1/2 (4x+10) = 2 i need to get x

First you need to distribute the 1/2 by the numbers in the parentheses

1/2•4x and 1/2•10 which equals

2x+5=10

next, you will need to get the 2x by itself so you would do

2x+5=10

-5=-5

2x=5

finally, you divide the 2 by the 5 so you can get the x by itself

2x divided by 5

the answer is: x=2.5
