Step 3.1

Factor $u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $\frac{3}{2} \cdot u^{2} v^{4}$ .

$u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{3}{2} v^{2}) - 2 \frac{1}{2} u^{3} v^{5} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{4} v^{2}$

Step 3.2

Factor $u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $- 2 \frac{1}{2} u^{3} v^{5}$ .

$u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{3}{2} v^{2}) + u^{2} v^{2} (- 2 \frac{1}{2} u v^{3}) + \frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{4} v^{2}$

Step 3.3

Factor $u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $\frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{4} v^{2}$ .

$u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{3}{2} v^{2}) + u^{2} v^{2} (- 2 \frac{1}{2} u v^{3}) + u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{2})$

Step 3.4

Factor $u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{3}{2} v^{2}) + u^{2} v^{2} (- 2 \frac{1}{2} u v^{3})$ .

$u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{3}{2} v^{2} - 2 \frac{1}{2} u v^{3}) + u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{2})$

Step 3.5

Factor $u^{2} v^{2}$ out of $u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{3}{2} v^{2} - 2 \frac{1}{2} u v^{3}) + u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{2})$ .

$u^{2} v^{2} (\frac{3}{2} v^{2} - 2 \frac{1}{2} u v^{3} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot u^{2})$
