Answer

$\dfrac{4x}{2x-1}, \space x\ne0$.

Work Step by Step

Note that $\dfrac{24x^2}{12x^2-6x}=\dfrac{6x(4x)}{6x(2x)-6x}$ Factor out $6x$ in the denominator. $=\dfrac{6x(4x)}{6x( 2x-1)}$ Cancel the common factor $6x$: $=\dfrac{4x}{2x-1}, \space x\ne 0$ Hence, the lowest term is $\dfrac{4x}{2x-1}, x\ne0$.
