#3x^2-42x+143#

Given expression:#" "3(x-7)^2-4#

This is the same as:

#" "color(brown)(3color(green)((x-7))color(blue)((x-7))-4)#

Which is the same as

#" "color(brown)(3[color(white)(.)color(green)(x)color(blue)((x-7))color(green)(-7)color(blue)((x-7))color(white)(.)]-4) #

#3[ x^2-7x-7x+49 ] -4#

#3[ x^2-14x+49 ] -4#

#3x^2-42x+147 -4#

#3x^2-42x+143#
