Answer:

  • (x² - x - 6) / (3x - 1)

Explanation:

See steps of simplification below:

  • (x² + x − 12) / (x − 2) ÷ (3x² + 11x − 4) / (x² − 4) =
  • (x² + x − 12) / (x − 2) × (x² − 4) / (3x² + 11x − 4) =
  • (x - 3)(x + 4) / (x - 2) × (x + 2)(x - 2) /(3x - 1)(x + 4) =
  • (x - 3)(x + 2) / (3x - 1) =
  • (x² - x - 6) / (3x - 1)
