Final answer:

The quotient of (12x^2 - 10x - 12) ÷ (3x + 2) is 4x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide (12x2 - 10x -12) by (3x + 2), we can use polynomial long division:

4x - 6
-----------------
3x + 2 | 12x2 - 10x - 12
12x2 + 8x
-----------
-18x - 12
-18x - 12
------------
0

The quotient is 4x - 6.

The answer is 2 * (2x-3).

12x^2 - 10x - 12 = 2 * (6x2 - 5x - 6)

Work from there.
