Answer

The final simplified form of the expression is: \[\boxed{3 z^{4} x^{2} + \frac{29}{4} z^{4} x - 2 z^{4} x^{-1}}\]

Steps

Step 1 :Divide each term of the numerator by the denominator: \[\frac{-12 z^{6} x^{7}}{-4 z^{2} x^{5}} , \frac{-29 z^{6} x^{6}}{-4 z^{2} x^{5}} , \frac{8 z^{6} x^{4}}{-4 z^{2} x^{5}}\]

Step 2 :Simplify each term: \[= 3 z^{4} x^{2} + \frac{29}{4} z^{4} x - 2 z^{4} x^{-1}\]

Step 3 :The final simplified form of the expression is: \[\boxed{3 z^{4} x^{2} + \frac{29}{4} z^{4} x - 2 z^{4} x^{-1}}\]
