According to my calculations, the answer is 43/2. Though I am not entirely sure.

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{(3x^2 - 5x + 1)/(x)}\\\\\mathsf{= (3(-2)^2 - 5(-2) + 1)/(-2)}\\\\\mathsf{= ((3)(4) - (5)(-2)+1)/(-2)}\\\\\mathsf{= (12 - (5)(-2)+1)/(-2)}\\\\\mathsf{= (12 - (-10) + 1)/(-2)}\\\\\mathsf{= (12 + 10 + 1)/(-2)}\\\\\mathsf{= (22 + 1)/(-2)}\\\\\mathsf{= (23)/(-2)}\\\\\mathsf{-11 (1)/(2)}\\\\\\\\\huge\text{Thus, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{-11(1)/(2)}}}\huge\checkmark`
