To multiply the expression (x - 5)/(4x + 8) by (12x^2 + 32x + 16), first simplify the fraction:

(x - 5)/(4x + 8) = (x - 5)/4(x + 2)

Now, carry out the multiplication:

(x - 5)/4(x + 2) * (12x^2 + 32x + 16)

= (x - 5)(12x^2 + 32x + 16) / 4(x + 2)

Now, distribute the (x - 5) into the parentheses:

= (12x^3 + 32x^2 + 16x) - (60x^2 + 160x + 80) / 4(x + 2)

= 12x^3 + 32x^2 + 16x - 60x^2 - 160x - 80 / 4(x + 2)

= 12x^3 - 28x^2 - 144x - 80 / 4(x + 2)

The final result is 12x^3 - 28x^2 - 144x - 80 / 4(x + 2).

To simplify the expression 12x^3 - 28x^2 - 144x - 80 / 4(x + 2), we can factor out the common factors in the numerator:

12x^3 - 28x^2 - 144x - 80 = 4(3x^3 - 7x^2 - 36x - 20)

Now we have: 4(3x^3 - 7x^2 - 36x - 20) / 4(x + 2)

We can cancel out the common factor of 4 in the numerator and the denominator:

= 3x^3 - 7x^2 - 36x - 20 / x + 2

So, the simplified form of the expression is: 3x^3 - 7x^2 - 36x - 20 / x + 2.
