2\left(-x^{3}-5x^{2}+x+5\right)
Factor out 2.
x^{2}\left(-x-5\right)-\left(-x-5\right)
Consider -x^{3}-5x^{2}+x+5. Do the grouping -x^{3}-5x^{2}+x+5=\left(-x^{3}-5x^{2}\right)+\left(x+5\right), and factor out x^{2} in the first and -1 in the second group.
\left(-x-5\right)\left(x^{2}-1\right)
Factor out common term -x-5 by using distributive property.
\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)
Consider x^{2}-1. Rewrite x^{2}-1 as x^{2}-1^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
2\left(-x-5\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression.
