You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It's not an equation. You need an "=" sign
somewhere to be an equation.
What it is is an expression. You can expand it.
To expand:
+3%2A%28+4x%5E2+-+8x+-+8x+%2B+16+%29+
+3%2A%28+4x%5E2+-+16x+%2B+16+%29+
+12x%5E2+-+48x+%2B+48+
+12%2A%28+x%5E2+-+4x+%2B+4+%29+
+12%2A%28+x+-+2+%29%5E2+
