We have the expression:
3x(x-12x) + 3x^2 - 2(x-2)^2
First, we will expand the power 2 bracket as follows:
3x(x-12x) + 3x^2 - 2(x^2 - 4x +4)
Then, we will get rid of the brackets as follows:
3x^2 - 36x^2 + 3x^2 - 2x^2 + 8x - 8
Now, we will gather the like terms and add them as follows:
-32 x^2 + 8x - 8
We can take the 8 as a common factor:
8 ( -4x^2 + x -1)
1.6 I think I’m sorry if it’s incorrect
4 is the only factor common among all terms
