1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{4 - 3}{5x - 10} \times (x - 2)$$.
2. **Simplify the numerator:** Calculate $4 - 3$.
$$4 - 3 = 1$$
3. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{1}{5x - 10} \times (x - 2)$$
4. **Factor the denominator:** Notice that $5x - 10$ can be factored as:
$$5x - 10 = 5(x - 2)$$
5. **Substitute the factorization:**
$$\frac{1}{5(x - 2)} \times (x - 2)$$
6. **Cancel common factors:** The $(x - 2)$ terms cancel out:
$$\frac{1}{5\cancel{(x - 2)}} \times \cancel{(x - 2)} = \frac{1}{5}$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{1}{5}}$$
This means the original expression simplifies to $\frac{1}{5}$ regardless of $x$ (except where $x=2$ which would make the denominator zero).
