Answer

$(2x+3)(2x-3)(3y-1)$

Work Step by Step

Consider the polynomial $(12x^2y-27y-4x^2+9)$ $\implies (12x^2y-4x^2)-(27y-9)$ Take out common terms. or, $=4x^2(3y-1)-9(3y-1)$ $=(4x^2-9)(3y-1)$ Apply difference of squares formula. $=(4x^2-3^2)(3y-1)$ Hence, $(12x^2y-27y-4x^2+9)=(2x+3)(2x-3)(3y-1)$
