= (a^{2} - 2 a) + (4 a - 8)

Factor out

a

from

a^{2} - 2 a : a (a - 2)

Factor out

4

from

4 a - 8 : 4 (a - 2)

= a (a - 2) + 4 (a - 2)

a - 2

= (a - 2) (a + 4)

(p + q)^{2} + 4 (p + q) + 4

x^{2} - \frac{49}{25}

2 x (4 - x) - \frac{3}{5} (15 x - 7) = \frac{1}{2} (4 - 6 x) - 2 x^{2}

\frac{5 x ^{- 2}}{3 x} \cdot \frac{2 y ^{3}}{x ^{10}}

9 a^{2} - 4
