Solution

20092010x=(2009)logx(2010)
Taking log to the base 10 on both sides,
log(20092010)+logx=logx(2010)log(2009)
[log2010log2009]+logx=log2010logxlog2009
(logx)2[log2010log2009]logxlog2010log2009=0
The obtained equation is an quadratic equation in logx
logx=log2010log2009±(log2010log2009)2+4(log2010log2009)2
logx=log2010log2009±(log2010+log2009)22
logx=log2010log2009±(log2010+log2009)2
logx=log2010,logx=log2009
Simplifying further,
x=2010,logx=log(2009)1
x=(2009)1
Products of roots=mn=20102009
m+n=2010+2009
=4019
