ANSWER


x-5

Step-by-step explanation

We want to divide the given expression:


(x^2-3x-10)/(x+2)

To do this, first, factor the numerator:


\begin{gathered} (x^2-5x+2x-10)/(x+2) \\ \\ (x(x-5)+2(x-5))/(x+2) \\ \\ ((x+2)(x-5))/(x+2) \end{gathered}

Now, divide the common bracketed terms in the fraction:


x-5

That is the answer.
