Answer:
Third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is

We need to find the factored form of this expression.
Step 1: Given

Step 2: Splitting the middle term method, the middle term can be written as (-5x-2x).


Step 3: Taking out common factors from each parenthesis.

Step 4: Taking out common factors.

Therefore, the third step is incorrect. The correct factored form is (x-1)(2x-5).
