Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=01−10x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−10x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−10x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−10x2=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−10x2=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
10x2=1
Divide both sides
1010x2=101
Divide the numbers
x2=101
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±101
