Answer:
The answer is rectangular prism.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangular prism is a solid (3-dimensional) object which has six faces that are rectangles in general. For this case, two face are squared, and these faces are opposite.
It has the same cross-section along a length, which makes it a prism.
I have attached an image that shows a rectangular prism and some formulas.
As we see, four rectangular faces are congruent and two rectangular faces (the opposites) are congruent.
The rectangular prism is also called "cuboid" or "rectangular solid".

For this case we must simplify the following expression:
Simplifying the numerator, dividing all the terms by 4, we have:
We factor by looking for two numbers that when added together give -8 and when multiplied by 12. These are: -6 and -2
So, we have to:
Simplifying the denominator:
We rewrite -17x as -18x + x:
We factor the highest common denominator of each group:
We factor the polynomial by factoring the highest common denominator (x-6):
So, we have to:
Substituting in the original expression we have:
