3x^3y+12xy-3x^2y-12y

Part A: Rewrite the expressions so that the GCF is factored completely.

Part B: Rewrite the expression completely factored. Show the steps of your work.

Part C: If the two middle terms were switched so that the expression became 3x^3y-3x^2y+12xy-12y, would the factored expression no longer be equivalent to your answer in part be? Explain your reasoning.
