Simplifying
(x + -2)(x + 5) = (x + -3)(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(x + 5) = (x + -3)(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(5 + x) = (x + -3)(x + 1)

Multiply (-2 + x) * (5 + x)
(-2(5 + x) + x(5 + x)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)
((5 * -2 + x * -2) + x(5 + x)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)
((-10 + -2x) + x(5 + x)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)
(-10 + -2x + (5 * x + x * x)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)
(-10 + -2x + (5x + x2)) = (x + -3)(x + 1)

Combine like terms: -2x + 5x = 3x
(-10 + 3x + x2) = (x + -3)(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 3x + x2 = (-3 + x)(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 3x + x2 = (-3 + x)(1 + x)

Multiply (-3 + x) * (1 + x)
-10 + 3x + x2 = (-3(1 + x) + x(1 + x))
-10 + 3x + x2 = ((1 * -3 + x * -3) + x(1 + x))
-10 + 3x + x2 = ((-3 + -3x) + x(1 + x))
-10 + 3x + x2 = (-3 + -3x + (1 * x + x * x))
-10 + 3x + x2 = (-3 + -3x + (1x + x2))

Combine like terms: -3x + 1x = -2x
-10 + 3x + x2 = (-3 + -2x + x2)
