Answer

$x+2 +\frac{8}{x-3}$

Work Step by Step

By using long division to solve the equation it will go as follows. $x$ goes into $x^2$, $x$ times. ($x^2 -5x$) - ($x^2 -3x$) Your remainder here is $2x$. $x$ goes into $2x$, $2$ times. ($2x+2$) - ($2x-6$) Your final remainder is 8. Therefore your answer is $x+2 +\frac{8}{x-3}$ (your remainder goes over your divisor).
