Question

FACTORISE : (p-4)-(p-4)²+12-3p. PLEASE SOLVE THIS CORRECTLY. The answer should be (p-4)(2-p).​

Answer 1

Answer:

(p - 4) - ( p-4)² -3 ( p -4)

-(p-4)² - 2( p-4)

- ( p² + 16 - 8p ) - 2p + 8

- p² - 16 +8p - 2p +8

-p² + 6p-8

- p² + 4p + 2p - 8

- p( p-4) + 2 ( p-4)

( 2- p)( p-4)

you can also solve by this following method

(p - 4) - ( p-4)² -3 ( p -4)

let ( p-4) be y

y - y² - 3y

- y² - 2y

y( -2 - y)

( p-4)( -2-( p-4))

( p-4)( -2- p+4)

( p-4)(2-p)
