Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is C.

C) -x + 2

Explanation:

In mathematics, the term which is being divided is called a dividend. The term by which the dividend is getting divided is called a divisor. The quotient is the term we get after dividing the dividend by a divisor.

Here in this case, the dividend is written.

-x² x x

which in the equation form is written as

-x² + x + x

add the x terms to simplify

-x² + 2x

The divisor is given as x, divide the equation by x:

(-x² + 2x)/x

(-x²/x) + (2x/x)

-x+2

Which is the quotient.
