By taking x as common and then applying middle term splitting

Explanation:

First, take $x$ $x$ and $5$ $5$ as common:
$5 x^{3} - 20 x^{2} + 20 x$ $5x^3-20x^2+20x$
$= 5 x (x^{2} - 4 x + 4)$ $=5x(x^2-4x+4)$

Then by middle term splitting:
$= 5 x (x^{2} - 4 x + 4)$ $=5x(x^2-4x+4)$
$= 5 x (x^{2} - 2 x - 2 x + 4)$ $=5x(x^2-2x-2x+4)$
$= 5 x (x (x - 2) - 2 (x - 2))$ $=5x(x(x-2)-2(x-2))$
$= 5 x {(x - 2)}^{2}$ $=5x(x-2)^2$
