\left(5x-2\right)\left(3x-1\right)=\left(5x+2\right)\left(3x+1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -\frac{2}{5},\frac{2}{5} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(5x-2\right)\left(5x+2\right), the least common multiple of 5x+2,5x-2.
15x^{2}-11x+2=\left(5x+2\right)\left(3x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5x-2 by 3x-1 and combine like terms.
15x^{2}-11x+2=15x^{2}+11x+2
Use the distributive property to multiply 5x+2 by 3x+1 and combine like terms.
15x^{2}-11x+2-15x^{2}=11x+2
Subtract 15x^{2} from both sides.
-11x+2=11x+2
Combine 15x^{2} and -15x^{2} to get 0.
-11x+2-11x=2
Subtract 11x from both sides.
-22x+2=2
Combine -11x and -11x to get -22x.
-22x=2-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-22x=0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -22 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
