Hello

The question here relates to property of real numbers and it's called commutative property of multiplication

commutative property of multiplication states that

x.y = y.x


\begin{gathered} 5\cdot n\cdot2=0 \\ 10\cdot n=0 \\ n=(0)/(10) \\ n=0 \end{gathered}

note: zero property of multiplication was also used in this case since any number multiplied by zero is equal to zero
