Given that,
Principal = $ 857
Amount = $ 1268.36
Number of years = 6

Answer:
3
- 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(a + 2)(3a² + 12)(a - 2)
= (a + 2)(a - 2)(3a² + 12) ← expand the first pair of parenthesis using FOIL
=(a² - 4)(3a² + 12) ← expand using FOIL
= 3
+ 12a² - 12a² - 48 ← collect like terms
= 3
- 48
