An expression to simplify:

The solution

x  - x*a + 4*a
$$4 a^{2} + \left(- a x + x^{2}\right)$$ 
x^2 - x*a + 4*a^2
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$4 a^{2} + \left(- a x + x^{2}\right)$$
Let us write down the identical expression
$$4 a^{2} + \left(- a x + x^{2}\right) = \frac{15 x^{2}}{16} + \left(4 a^{2} - a x + \frac{x^{2}}{16}\right)$$
or
$$4 a^{2} + \left(- a x + x^{2}\right) = \frac{15 x^{2}}{16} + \left(2 a - \frac{x}{4}\right)^{2}$$
