Answer:

x - 4

Explanation:

Please write X2-7x+12 by x-3 as x^2 - 7x + 12. The " ^ " represents exponentiation.

Notice that x^2 - 7x + 12 factors as follows: (x - 3)(x - 4), and so the original division problem

x^2 - 7x + 12 (x - 3)(x - 4)

-------------------- becomes -------------------- = x - 4

x - 3 x - 3

for all x except x = 3 (because we cannot divide by zero).
