We are given the equation of the curve:

\[
x y^2 + 2 - 5x^2 = -2y
\]

We need to find the equations of all tangent lines to this curve when \(x = 1\).

### Steps:

1. **Implicit Differentiation**:
   We will differentiate both sides of the given equation with respect to \(x\), keeping in mind that \(y\) is a function of \(x\) (i.e., use the chain rule).

   The equation is:
   \[
   x y^2 + 2 - 5x^2 = -2y
   \]

   Now, differentiate term by term:
   
   \[
   \frac{d}{dx}(x y^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(2) - \frac{d}{dx}(5x^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(-2y)
   \]

   Apply the product rule for \(\frac{d}{dx}(x y^2)\) and the chain rule for the derivative of \(y^2\) and \(y\):
   
   \[
   y^2 + x \cdot 2y \frac{dy}{dx} - 10x = -2 \frac{dy}{dx}
   \]

   Simplify:
   
   \[
   y^2 + 2xy \frac{dy}{dx} - 10x = -2 \frac{dy}{dx}
   \]

   Collect \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) terms:
   
   \[
   2xy \frac{dy}{dx} + 2 \frac{dy}{dx} = 10x - y^2
   \]

   Factor out \(\frac{dy}{dx}\):
   
   \[
   \frac{dy}{dx} (2xy + 2) = 10x - y^2
   \]

   Solve for \(\frac{dy}{dx}\):
   
   \[
   \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{10x - y^2}{2xy + 2}
   \]

2. **Substitute \(x = 1\)** into the equation for \(\frac{dy}{dx}\):
   \[
   \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{10(1) - y^2}{2(1)y + 2} = \frac{10 - y^2}{2y + 2}
   \]

3. **Find the corresponding values of \(y\) when \(x = 1\)**:
   To find the values of \(y\) at \(x = 1\), substitute \(x = 1\) into the original equation:
   
   \[
   (1) y^2 + 2 - 5(1)^2 = -2y
   \]
   Simplifying:
   \[
   y^2 - 5 = -2y
   \]
   \[
   y^2 + 2y - 5 = 0
   \]
   Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
   \[
   y = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^2 - 4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)} = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 20}}{2} = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{24}}{2} = \frac{-2 \pm 2\sqrt{6}}{2}
   \]
   \[
   y = -1 \pm \sqrt{6}
   \]

   So, the two values of \(y\) are:
   \[
   y_1 = -1 + \sqrt{6}, \quad y_2 = -1 - \sqrt{6}
   \]

4. **Find the slopes of the tangent lines**:
   Substitute \(y_1 = -1 + \sqrt{6}\) and \(y_2 = -1 - \sqrt{6}\) into the formula for \(\frac{dy}{dx}\):

   - For \(y_1 = -1 + \sqrt{6}\):
     \[
     \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{10 - (-1 + \sqrt{6})^2}{2(-1 + \sqrt{6}) + 2}
     \]
     Simplify the expression to get the slope for this tangent line.

   - For \(y_2 = -1 - \sqrt{6}\):
     \[
     \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{10 - (-1 - \sqrt{6})^2}{2(-1 - \sqrt{6}) + 2}
     \]
     Simplify to get the slope for this tangent line.

5. **Find the equations of the tangent lines**:
   The equation of a tangent line is given by:
   \[
   y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)
   \]
   where \(m = \frac{dy}{dx}\), \(x_0 = 1\), and \(y_0 = y_1\) or \(y_2\).

   Plug in the slopes and the corresponding \(y_0\) values to find the two equations of the tangent lines.
