To simplify the given expression:

$\frac{3x - 12}{12x \div x^2 - \frac{16x}{x}} + 9x + 4$

Step 1: Simplify each term

• First term: $\frac{3x - 12}{12x \div x^2 - \frac{16x}{x}}$

Numerator:

The numerator is $3x - 12$. We can factor this:

$3x - 12 = 3(x - 4)$

Denominator:

The denominator has two parts:

1. $12x \div x^2 = \frac{12x}{x^2} = \frac{12}{x}$
2. $\frac{16x}{x} = 16$

So the denominator becomes:

$\frac{12}{x} - 16$

Step 2: Rewrite the expression

The simplified expression now looks like this:

$\frac{3(x - 4)}{\frac{12}{x} - 16} + 9x + 4$

We now need to simplify the fraction on the left-hand side before proceeding further.
