Multiple Choice

A systems analyst at a logistics firm is standardizing two performance metrics represented by the expressions 2x2x12\frac{2}{x^2-x-12} and 1x216\frac{1}{x^2-16}. After factoring the denominators, the analyst identifies that the first metric's denominator is (x4)(x+3)(x-4)(x+3). To rewrite this metric using the lowest common denominator (LCD) of (x+3)(x4)(x+4)(x+3)(x-4)(x+4), which factor must be multiplied by both its numerator and denominator?
