$2 x y^{2} - 5 x^{2} y + x + 4 x^{2}$

Step 1

Factor $x$ out of $2 x y^{2}$ .

$x (2 y^{2}) - 5 x^{2} y + x + 4 x^{2}$

Step 2

Factor $x$ out of $- 5 x^{2} y$ .

$x (2 y^{2}) + x (- 5 x y) + x + 4 x^{2}$

Step 3

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$x (2 y^{2}) + x (- 5 x y) + x^{1} + 4 x^{2}$

Step 4

Factor $x$ out of $x^{1}$ .

$x (2 y^{2}) + x (- 5 x y) + x \cdot 1 + 4 x^{2}$

Step 5

Factor $x$ out of $4 x^{2}$ .

$x (2 y^{2}) + x (- 5 x y) + x \cdot 1 + x (4 x)$

Step 6

Factor $x$ out of $x (2 y^{2}) + x (- 5 x y)$ .

$x (2 y^{2} - 5 x y) + x \cdot 1 + x (4 x)$

Step 7

Factor $x$ out of $x (2 y^{2} - 5 x y) + x \cdot 1$ .

$x (2 y^{2} - 5 x y + 1) + x (4 x)$

Step 8

Factor $x$ out of $x (2 y^{2} - 5 x y + 1) + x (4 x)$ .

$x (2 y^{2} - 5 x y + 1 + 4 x)$
