2(-5 + x)(-1 + x) = 0

Multiply (-5 + x) * (-1 + x)
2(-5(-1 + x) + x(-1 + x)) = 0
2((-1 * -5 + x * -5) + x(-1 + x)) = 0
2((5 + -5x) + x(-1 + x)) = 0
2(5 + -5x + (-1 * x + x * x)) = 0
2(5 + -5x + (-1x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5x + -1x = -6x
2(5 + -6x + x2) = 0
(5 * 2 + -6x * 2 + x2 * 2) = 0
(10 + -12x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
10 + -12x + 2x2 = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(1 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1x = 0

Solving
1 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1x = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -1
-1x = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1x = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 1

Simplifying
x = 1
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + -1x = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -5
-1x = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-1x = -5

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 5

Simplifying
x = 5
Solution
x = {1, 5}
