Multiple Choice

A risk management consultant is simplifying a complex rational expression that models insurance premium fluctuations: 2x+64x−6−4x2−36\frac{\frac{2}{x+6}}{\frac{4}{x-6}-\frac{4}{x^2-36}}. After identifying the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the inner fractions as (x+6)(x−6)(x+6)(x-6), the consultant multiplies the original numerator of the complex fraction by this LCD. Which of the following represents the resulting expression for the numerator before any further distribution?
