Hello,

We need to divide polynomials, I will try to specify each step

First of all, we need to divide


63x^3-37x^2+77x+65

by

9x+5

First focus on the highest degree term, we need to multiply (9x+5) by
7x^2

so that we get
63x^3+35x^2 this is to eliminate the term in highest degree

and then subtract to the first polynomial we got


63x^3-37x^2+77x+65-63x^3-35x^2=-72x^2+77x+65

and then we need to divide this one by (9x+5) again


(9x+5)*(-8x)=-72x^2-40x

and then


-72x^2+77x+65-(-72x^2-40x)=117x+65

finally


(9x+5)*(13)=117x+13*5=117x+65

so the rest is 0

Finally it comes


63x^3-37x^2+77x+65=(9x+5)(7x^2-8x+13) \ So\\\\(63x^3-37x^2+77x+65)/(9x+5)=7x^2-8x+13

hope this helps
