Answer:

  • numerical: 159 ÷ 16
  • polynomial: (9x +15)/x

Explanation:

The dividend will be 15 more than 9 times the divisor. It appears you can choose any divisor you like. If the divisor is entirely numerical, it must be greater than 15.

Numerical:

divisor = 16, so we have (9×16 +15) ÷ 16 = 159 ÷ 16

__

Polynomial:

About the simplest divisor we can have is a single variable: x.

(9x +15)/x
