Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here? To factor this expression, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -144 (12 * -12) and add up to -7. Those numbers are -16 and 9. So, we can rewrite the expression as (12x + 9)(x - 4). Just like that, we've created a beautiful factored form that brings a sense of harmony to our math canvas.
