ANSWER:


m+(m-11)/(m-8)

Explanation:

We have the following division


\begin{gathered} (m^2-7m-11)/(m-8) \\ \text{what is equal to:} \\ (m^2-7m-11)/(m-8) \end{gathered}

Now we carry out the operation and we have:

We divide the quotients of the higher degree terms of the numerator and the divisor


(m^2)/(m)=m

Then we multiply this quotient by the denominator


m\cdot(m-8)=m^2-8m

Now, we subtract this value from the numerator and we have


\begin{gathered} m^2-7m-11-(m^2-8m)=m^2-7m-11-m^2+8m=m-11 \\ \end{gathered}

Therefore the final result would be


(m^2-7m-11)/(m-8)=m+(m-11)/(m-8)
