Problem #1
Does your first problem look like this:
3x-12x%5E3

x%283-12x%5E2%29 Factor out an x
-x%2812x%5E2-3%29 Rearrange and factor out a negative 1
Now lets factor

ERROR Algebra::Solver::Engine::invoke_solver_noengine: solver not defined for name 'quadratic_factoring'.
Error occurred executing solver 'quadratic_factoring' .



So we get:
-x%286x%2B3%29%282x-1%29
-----------------------------------
Problem #2
Rearrange in descending order:
-16x%5E2%2B52x%2B14
Factor out a negative 1
-%2816x%5E2-52x-14%29
Now factor he inside trinomial
ERROR Algebra::Solver::Engine::invoke_solver_noengine: solver not defined for name 'quadratic_factoring'.
Error occurred executing solver 'quadratic_factoring' .



So after we factor we get
-%288x%2B2%29%282x-7%29
