Answer:

[tex]3x=5x-10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of one pack of soda.

Cost of 3 packs=[tex]3x[/tex]

Cost of 5 packs of soda=[tex]5x[/tex]

We have to write an equation  that model this.

According to question

[tex]3x=5x-10[/tex]

[tex]5x-3x=10[/tex]

[tex]2x=10[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{10}{2}=5[/tex]

Hence, the equation is given by

[tex]3x=5x-10[/tex]
