$$2x^2 = 5x$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = 0 & x_2 = \dfrac{ 5 }{ 2 } \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 2x^2 &= 5x&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]2x^2-5x &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
In order to solve $ \color{blue}{ 2x^{2}-5x = 0 } $, first we need to factor our $ x $.
$$ 2x^{2}-5x = x \left( 2x-5 \right) $$
$ x = 0 $ is a root of multiplicity $ 1 $.
The second root can be found by solving equation $ 2x-5 = 0$.
