Factor $5 x$ out of $50 x^{2}$ .

$5 x (10 x) - 5 x = 0$

Factor $5 x$ out of $- 5 x$ .

$5 x (10 x) + 5 x (- 1) = 0$

Factor $5 x$ out of $5 x (10 x) + 5 x (- 1)$ .

$5 x (10 x - 1) = 0$

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$x = 0$

$10 x - 1 = 0$

Set $x$ equal to $0$ .

$x = 0$

Set $10 x - 1$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .
