Divide: 15x*3−10x*2+25x /////5x

Question

The numbers after the stars are exponents and the five slashes show that 5x is the denominator.

Answer 1

[ 15x³−10x²+25x  ] / [5x]     (split up the numerator by using the common denominator with each term)

 

[15x³]/[5x]  − [10x²]/[5x] + [25x]/[5x]    (simplify each term)

 

3x² - 2x + 5    (this is the quotient)

 

check:

(5x)(3x² - 2x + 5) = 15x³ - 10x² + 25x

divisor x quotient = dividend
