Answer: D

Explanation:

In synthetic division, if the divisor is an expression like x+3, you should always switch it to if x+3 were equal to 0.


x+3=0\\x=-3

So, you should use -3. The only options with -3 are B and D.

The coefficients for the dividend are 7, -2, and 4, so D is the correct answer.

Hope this helps! If you still have questions, please ask.
