See a solution process below..

Explanation:

Recall the standard form formula is;

Ax + By = cAx+By=c

Where;

A, B and CA,BandC are respective coefficients..

y = (x - 12)(3x + 2)(7x - 4)y=(x12)(3x+2)(7x4)

Firstly, removing the brackets..

#y = (x - 12)(3x + 2)#

#y = 3x² + 2x - 36x - 24#

#y = 3x² - 34x - 24#

y = 21x³ - 283x - 168 - 12x² + 136x + 96

y = 21x³ - 12x² - 283x + 136x - 168 + 96

y = 21x³ - 12x² - 147x - 72

Rearranging the equation..

21x³ - 12x² - 147x - y = 72
