Factor x^2-(y+4)x-(2y^2+y-3)

$x^{2} - (y + 4) x - (2 y^{2} + y - 3)$

Step 1

Apply the distributive property.

$x^{2} + (- y - 1 \cdot 4) x - (2 y^{2} + y - 3)$

Step 2

Multiply $- 1$ by $4$ .

$x^{2} + (- y - 4) x - (2 y^{2} + y - 3)$

Step 3

Apply the distributive property.

$x^{2} - y x - 4 x - (2 y^{2} + y - 3)$

Step 4

Apply the distributive property.

$x^{2} - y x - 4 x - (2 y^{2}) - y - - 3$

Step 5

Simplify.

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$x^{2} - y x - 4 x - 2 y^{2} - y - - 3$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 3$ .

$x^{2} - y x - 4 x - 2 y^{2} - y + 3$

$x^{2} - y x - 4 x - 2 y^{2} - y + 3$
