Answer:
fully factored form = 3(x-4)(x+8)
Step-by-step explanation:
first you factor 3 out
3(x^2+4x-32)
then factor it
3(x-4)(x+8)
Answer:
After finding like terms and solving, we get 
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find like terms and simplify the expression 
Like terms: The terms who have same variable and exponent are called like terms.
So, Combining like terms and solving:

So, after finding like terms and solving, we get 
<u><em>Note: In the question given we have - and + sign with the term 5x</em></u> i.e 4- 2x + x^2 -+ 5x + 12 + 2x^2
I have solved using +5x, but if the term is -5x then the solution will be:

So, the answer will be: 
So eight (8) less than (3) times a number ( 8 - 3x) is (=) twice the sum of x (2x) and (4) so the answer would be 8 - 3x = 2x + 4
