Answer

x=0,x=2x=0, x=2

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the common factor in the equation.

    The equation is 5x2−10x=05x^2 - 10x = 0. Both terms, 5x25x^2 and −10x-10x, have a common factor of 5x5x.

  2. Factor out the common term.

    Factor 5x5x from both terms:

    5x(x−2)=05x(x - 2) = 0
  3. Set each factor equal to zero and solve for xx.

    For the product of two factors to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.
    Case 1:

    5x=05x = 0

    Divide by 5:

    x=05x = \frac{0}{5} x=0x = 0

    Case 2:

    x−2=0x - 2 = 0

    Add 2 to both sides:

    x=2x = 2

    The solutions to the equation are x=0x = 0 and x=2x = 2.

    The final answer is x=0,x=2x=0, x=2.
