Factor out x from the expression
x(x+9)−10x−10×9
Factor out −10 from the expression
x(x+9)−10(x+9)
Factor out x+9 from the expression
(x−10)(x+9)
2(x−10)(x+9)
2(x−10)(x+9)=0
Divide the terms
(x−10)(x+9)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x−10=0x+9=0
Solve the equation for x

Evaluate
x−10=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+10
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=10
x=10x+9=0
