x^{3}-2x+1-2x=x\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)+2x-3
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by x^{2}+x-1 and combine like terms.
x^{3}-4x+1=x\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)+2x-3
Combine -2x and -2x to get -4x.
x^{3}-4x+1=\left(x^{2}-x\right)\left(x+1\right)+2x-3
Use the distributive property to multiply x by x-1.
x^{3}-4x+1=x^{3}-x+2x-3
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}-x by x+1 and combine like terms.
x^{3}-4x+1=x^{3}+x-3
Combine -x and 2x to get x.
x^{3}-4x+1-x^{3}=x-3
Subtract x^{3} from both sides.
-4x+1=x-3
Combine x^{3} and -x^{3} to get 0.
-4x+1-x=-3
Subtract x from both sides.
-5x+1=-3
Combine -4x and -x to get -5x.
-5x=-3-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-5x=-4
Subtract 1 from -3 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{4}{5}
Fraction \frac{-4}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{4}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
