Step 1
Factorization is the process of splitting expression in to factor form.
After factorization it is written in to the form of product term which when multiplied give the original expression.
For example
x2+5x+6=x2+3x+2x+6
=x(x+3)+2(x+3)
=(x+3)(x+2)
Step 2
The term x2x12 is factorize as below
Rewrite the -x term as -4x+3x
Then take x common from x24x term and 3 from 3x-12 term
x2x12=x24x+3x12
=x(x-4)+3(x-4)
=(x-4)(x+3)
Hence x2x12 is factorize as (x-4)(x+3)
