Question

Just divide and check,

(x^2 + 7x + 10) ÷ (x + 2)

​

Answer 1

x+5

Explanation:

so first you would divide by x (which means you would multiply x+2 by -x)

x^2 + 7x + 10

-x^2 - 2x

5x + 10

then you would divide by 5 (which means you would multiply x+2 by -5)

5x + 10

5x +10

0

So then to check it you would multiply x+5 by x+2

(x+5)(x+2)

x^2 + 2x + 5x + 10

then simplify to get

x^2 + 7x + 10
