1. **State the problem:** Find the limit $$\lim_{x \to 5} \frac{\frac{1}{s} + \frac{1}{x}}{10 + 2x}$$ where $s$ is a constant and $x$ approaches 5.
2. **Understand the expression:** The expression is a fraction where the numerator is the sum of two fractions $\frac{1}{s}$ and $\frac{1}{x}$, and the denominator is $10 + 2x$.
3. **Substitute $x=5$ directly:** Since the expression is continuous at $x=5$ (no division by zero or undefined terms), we can substitute directly:
$$\frac{\frac{1}{s} + \frac{1}{5}}{10 + 2 \times 5} = \frac{\frac{1}{s} + \frac{1}{5}}{10 + 10} = \frac{\frac{1}{s} + \frac{1}{5}}{20}$$
4. **Combine the numerator fractions:** Find a common denominator $5s$:
$$\frac{1}{s} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{5s} + \frac{s}{5s} = \frac{5 + s}{5s}$$
5. **Rewrite the limit expression:**
$$\frac{\frac{5 + s}{5s}}{20} = \frac{5 + s}{5s} \times \frac{1}{20} = \frac{5 + s}{100s}$$
6. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{5 + s}{100s}}$$
This is the value of the limit as $x$ approaches 5.
