4x2 - 12x + 9 = 4x2 - 6x - 6x + 9 = 2x(2x - 3) - 3(2x - 3)
= (2x - 3)(2x - 3) or (2x - 3)2

Oh, what a happy little question! When we see "3a squared," we simply need to multiply 3 by a and then square the result. So, 3a squared is the same as 3 times a times a, which simplifies to 3a^2. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, math can be a lovely adventure of discovery and creativity.
No. You need at least four.
To solve a system of equations like 3x-2y=-7, you typically need another equation to find a unique solution. If there is only one equation given, the system is underdetermined and has infinite solutions. However, if you have additional information or constraints, you can potentially narrow down the possible solutions. In this case, without another equation or constraint, the system is unsolvable as it is currently presented.
2y2 - 2y - 24 has the factors (2y + 6) and (y - 4) There is a formula, but I always use trial and error. The factors of the non-x element need to be such that they can be added to give the middle element. So when you get 24, then you need to be looking at 2,12 - 3,8 - 4,6 When both the second and third element are minus values then there is a plus and a minus in the factors.
To "evaluate" an expression, you need to know the value for the variables.
