Explanation:

Let's do the long division

color(white)(aaaa)x^3+4x^2-3x-12color(white)(aaaa)x^2-3

color(white)(aaaa)x^3color(white)(aaaaaa)-3xcolor(white)(aaaaaaaaa)x+4

color(white)(aaaa)0+4x^2color(white)(aaaa)0-12

color(white)(aaaaaa)+4x^2color(white)(aaaaaa)-12

color(white)(aaaaaa)+0color(white)(aaaaaaaa)-0

The remainder is =0 and the quotient is (x+4)
