5ax+2a-5x=2a^{2}
Subtract 5x from both sides.
5ax-5x=2a^{2}-2a
Subtract 2a from both sides.
\left(5a-5\right)x=2a^{2}-2a
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(5a-5\right)x}{5a-5}=\frac{2a\left(a-1\right)}{5a-5}
Divide both sides by 5a-5.
x=\frac{2a\left(a-1\right)}{5a-5}
Dividing by 5a-5 undoes the multiplication by 5a-5.
x=\frac{2a}{5}
Divide 2a\left(-1+a\right) by 5a-5.
