STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
= a^3 - 4a^2 + 12 - 3a
= a^2 ( a - 4 ) + 3 ( 4 - a )
= a^2 ( a - 4 ) - 3 ( a - 4 )
= ( a - 4 ) ( a^2 - 3 )

The two what? This question needs more context
Answer:
So, the initial number of apples is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of apples of An, Binh, and Chi are the same. An gave away 17 apples, Chi gave away 19 apples, so now Chi's apples are 5 times higher than the total remaining apples of An and Binh. How many apples did each of you have at first? (Solve the above problem by equation or system of equations)
Let the initial numbers of apples is a.
An gave 17 apples
Chi gave 19 apples
So,
x - 19 = 5 (x - 17 + x)
x - 19 = 5 (2x - 17)
x - 19 = 10 x - 85
9 x = 66
x = 7
Since 3/5 of the students wore blue shirts and 1/4 of the students wore white shirts, you need to find the Total of 3/5 and 1/4.
First, step find a common denominator for both fractions
EXAMPLE: 3/5+1/4=Total 3/5 becomes 12/20 and 1/4 becomes 5/20.
Second, notice that both fractions now have the same denominator, now you can find the sum of both fractions which is 17/20
Finally, you need to check if the fraction can be SIMPLIFIED if not then the fraction is already im simplest form.
THE ANSWER: 17/20 of students wore either a blue or white shirt on Friday
