2xx+2x\times 13=2\left(x^{2}+25\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x.
2x^{2}+2x\times 13=2\left(x^{2}+25\right)
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
2x^{2}+26x=2\left(x^{2}+25\right)
Multiply 2 and 13 to get 26.
2x^{2}+26x=2x^{2}+50
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x^{2}+25.
2x^{2}+26x-2x^{2}=50
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
26x=50
Combine 2x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 0.
x=\frac{50}{26}
Divide both sides by 26.
x=\frac{25}{13}
Reduce the fraction \frac{50}{26} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
