Answer:

4x² (3x - 1)

Explanation:

→ Find the LCM of 12 and 4

LCM = 4

→ Find the LCM of x³ and x²

LCM = x²

→ Combine both LCM's together to form the outside multiplier

4x² (? - ?)

→ Complete the operations of 12x³ ÷ 4x² to find the first ? and 4x² ÷ 4x² to find the second ?

12x³ ÷ 4x² = 3x

4x² ÷ 4x² = 1

→ Therefore,

∴ 4x² (3x - 1)
