Answer:

12

Explanation:

The given rational expression is (X^2 + 8x + 11)/(x + 6)

The numerator to have (x + 6), we have to change the constant term.

Which means the numerator have the factor of (X + 6)

When 11 changed to 12, we get the (x + 6) as a factor in the numerator.

(x^2 + 8x + 12) = (x + 2)(x + 6)

The answer is 12.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
