You can set this up as you would a long division problem and proceed just at you would in long division.
It is all but impossible to show the work in this text editor, but the answer is
x2 - 2x - 5 with a remainder of -10.
I am sorry but I do not know how to help you further within the limitations of this text editor.

When you multiply the -2x by (2x-5) you get -4x2 + 10x which is subtracted from the dividend to give you -10x + 15. This can be divided by (2x-5) to give you -10x + 25. The subtraction then leaves you with a remainder of -10 which cannot be divided further. Remember your dividend has a "missing" term, that is no term in x.

I got the x^2 -2x but for the remainder I got -5(2x-3) because 15-10x cannot give you -5 because they are not like terms.
