x\times 500=\left(x+10\right)\times 450
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -10,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+10\right), the least common multiple of x+10,x.
x\times 500=450x+4500
Use the distributive property to multiply x+10 by 450.
x\times 500-450x=4500
Subtract 450x from both sides.
50x=4500
Combine x\times 500 and -450x to get 50x.
x=\frac{4500}{50}
Divide both sides by 50.
x=90
Divide 4500 by 50 to get 90.
