4 k + 12 k + 3 = ( k + 3 ) × 4 k + 3 \dfrac{4k+12}{k+3}=\dfrac{(k+3)\times 4}{k+3} If k + 3 0 k+3\neq 0 , then we can divide by k + 3 k+3 , so we get that the answer is 4 4 . But if k + 3 = 0 k+3=0 , then the fraction is not determined, because we can't divide by 0.

So there is exactly one counterexample, when k = 0 3 = 3 k=0-3=-3 .
