a: \(=12x^2-9x-\left(12x^2+10x-6x-5\right)\)
\(=12x^2-9x-12x^2-4x+5\)
=-13x+5
b: \(=3x\left(x^2-2x+1\right)-2x\left(x^2-9\right)+4x\left(x-4\right)\)
\(=3x^3-6x^2+3x-2x^3+18x+4x^2-16x\)
\(=x^3-2x^2+5x\)
c: \(=x^3-3x^2+3x-1-\left(x^3-8\right)+3\left(x^2-16\right)\)
\(=x^3-3x^2+3x-1-x^3+8+3x^2-48\)
\(=3x-41\)
