No. x2 -4x - 12 = (x + 2)(x - 6)
x2-4x-12 = (x-6)(x+2) when factored
x2 + 4x - 96 = (x - 8)(x + 12).
x2+4x-12 = (x-2)(x+6) when factored
4x + 3 cannot equal 4x + 12:4x + 3 = 4x + 12 (given)3 = 12 (subtract 4x from both sides)

You can work this out with long division, by checking to see if (x2 - 1) is a factor of (2x4 + 4x3 - x2 + 4x - 3). It is. Unfortunately, the WikiAnswers system is somewhat limited in depicting things such as long division, so we won't be able to represent it here. In short though, (2x4 + 4x3 - x2 + 4x - 3) / (x2 + 1) is equal to 2x2 + 4x - 3. which means that: (x2 + 1) / (2x4 + 4x3 - x2 + 4x - 3) = (x2 + 1) / (x2 + 1)(2x2 + 4x - 3) = 1 / (2x2 + 4x - 3)
x2+4x-12 = (x-2)(x+6) when factored
If you are looking to factor this expression, then it does not have a real solution.
4x + 3 cannot equal 4x + 12:4x + 3 = 4x + 12 (given)3 = 12 (subtract 4x from both sides)
