Not because 12x + y is not the same as 12(x+y). The answer would be correct if the numerator were 12(x+y).

you're technically properly suitable, to boot the actuality that with the 2d subject, i could substitute the order to: 4x^3 + 3x^2 + 8 frequently, those expressions are written beginning with the suitable potential of x to the smallest potential of x. fairly circumstances, they are written in opposite order, yet purely approximately consistently so as of powers, the two lowering (extra elementary) or increasing (much less elementary).

it's not correct because x + y is not a factor of 12x + y. you can only cancel factors, not parts of sums.
