By inspection, 9 (2a - 3b)2 - 12 (2a - 3b) gives
3 (2a - 3b) (6a - 9b - 4)
3 (2a - 3b) (3a - 9b - 4)
3 (2a - 3b) (6a + 9b - 4)
3 (2a - 3b) (6a - 3b + 4)
9(2a - 3b)2 - 12(2a - 3b)
= 3(2a - 3b) [3(2a - 3b) - 4]
= 3(2a - 3b) (6a - 9b - 4)
By inspection, 4 (x - y)3 + 6 (x - y)2 gives
By inspection, a3 - 2a2 + a - 2 gives
