    x = 2 or x = 1 or x = 0 or x = - 1 or x = - 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solve for x:

    x^5 - 5 x^3 + 4 x = 0

    The left hand side factors into a product with five terms:

    x (x - 2) (x - 1) (x + 1) (x + 2) = 0

    Split into five equations:

    x - 2 = 0 or x - 1 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

    Add 2 to both sides:

    x = 2 or x - 1 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

    Add 1 to both sides:

    x = 2 or x = 1 or x = 0 or x + 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    x = 2 or x = 1 or x = 0 or x = - 1 or x + 2 = 0

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    Answer: x = 2 or x = 1 or x = 0 or x = - 1 or x = - 2
