Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2x29 • x) - 5Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
 2.1      Factoring:  2x30-5 
 Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
          A2 - AB + AB - B2 = 
         A2 - B2
Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication. 
Note :  - AB + AB  equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check :  2  is not a square !! 
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the
 difference of two perfect squares
Trying to factor as a Difference of Cubes:
 2.2      Factoring:  2x30-5 
 Theory : A difference of two perfect cubes,  a3 - b3  can be factored into
              (a-b) • (a2 +ab +b2)
Proof :  (a-b)•(a2+ab+b2) =
            a3+a2b+ab2-ba2-b2a-b3 =
            a3+(a2b-ba2)+(ab2-b2a)-b3 =
            a3+0+0-b3 =
            a3-b3
Check :  2  is not a cube !! 
Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect cubes
Final result :
  2x30 - 5
