Solution for 2(x-5)(x-2)=0 equation:

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

Reorder the terms:
2(-5 + x)(x + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
2(-5 + x)(-2 + x) = 0

Multiply (-5 + x) * (-2 + x)
2(-5(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
2((-2 * -5 + x * -5) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
2((10 + -5x) + x(-2 + x)) = 0
2(10 + -5x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 0
2(10 + -5x + (-2x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5x + -2x = -7x
2(10 + -7x + x2) = 0
(10 * 2 + -7x * 2 + x2 * 2) = 0
(20 + -14x + 2x2) = 0

Solving
20 + -14x + 2x2 = 0
