Factor out n−1 from the expression
(n−10)(n−1)
(n−10)(n−1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
n−10=0n−1=0
Solve the equation for n

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