Answer

The x-intercept is $\boxed{5}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Set y to zero: $0 = \frac{2x - 10}{x + 5}$

Step 2 ：Cross multiply: $0(x + 5) = 2x - 10$

Step 3 ：Expand the equation: $0 = 2x - 10$

Step 4 ：Add 10 to both sides: $10 = 2x$

Step 5 ：Divide both sides by 2: $5 = x$

Step 6 ：The x-intercept is $\boxed{5}$
