X
X*2
X*2+10
(X*2+10)/2= X + 5
X +5 - X = 5

[eqn]
\begin{aligned}
\sqrt{2} \cdot 2 &= 2\sqrt{2} \\
2\sqrt{2} + 10 &= 2\sqrt{2} + 10 \\
\frac{2\sqrt{2} + 10}{2} &= \sqrt{2} + 5 \\
\sqrt{2} + 5 = 5
\end{aligned}
[/eqn]
O-Oh...

X is not a number, smartass. I might as well try to add Potato if anything goes.
