Answer

$3(4x-3)(4x-1)$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $(4x-3)^2+x\cdot 2(4x-3)\cdot 4$ $=(4x-3)^2+8x(4x-3)$ Factor out $(4x-3)$. $=(4x-3)[(4x-3)+8x]$ $=(4x-3)[4x-3+8x]$ Add like terms. $=(4x-3)(12x-3)$ Factor out $3$. $=(4x-3)(3)(4x-1)$ $=3(4x-3)(4x-1)$ Hence, the completely factored form of the given expression is $3(4x-3)(4x-1)$.
