The Answer is -10. Set 5x+50 equal to zero. Subtract 50 on both sides of the equal sign, so you have 5X=(-50) Then Divide -50 by 5 and you get -10.

x=-10
5x+50 actually is 5x+50=0
Since we want to get the x alone, we must move the 50 to the other side of the =. We do this by subtracting 50 from each side. This gives us 5x=-50. We still need to get the x alone, so we must divide each side by 5, in order to get rid of the 5 in the 5x. This leaves us with x=-10.

5x+50 by itself is an expression. Meaning, there is no set value; the letter x signifies a variable, or an unknown value. If you say 5x+50=100, for example, then you can solve for x (x equals 10 in this example). But 5x+50 by itself does not have a set numerical value.

To answer this as an equation, there needs to be an equal sign.
EX: 5x+50=40

if you meant 5x+50=0 then the answer is -10.
but 5x+50 doesn't give enough information.

if you set it equal to zero so 5x + 50 = 0, then subtract 50 from each side so you have 5x= -50, then divide each side by 5 so x = -10.
