x-2=10x-2
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 5x-1.
x-2-10x=-2
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-9x-2=-2
Combine x and -10x to get -9x.
-9x=-2+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-9x=0
Add -2 and 2 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -9 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
