Step 1 is correct, but Step 2 contains errors.
Step 2 should be:
5x2 - 10x + x + 2
Step 3 should be:
5x(x - 2) + 1(x + 2)
Therefore, the correct factorization of 5x2 - 11x + 2 is (5x - 1)(x - 2).

Jacob incorrectly factored 5x2 - 11x + 2 using the following steps.
Step 1: 5x2 - (10x +x) + 2
Step 2: (5.22 - 10ac) + (20 - 2)
Step 3: 5x (x - 2) + 1 (x - 2)
