Hello there.

I am working it out, so I can tell you in a sec

Answer 4

Awrighty.

Answer 5

I got 3x^2-3x-2 with a remainder of -9

Answer 6

It would seem you're right.

Answer 7

simply just divide like you would in a regular problem. BUT make sure ur 5x will go into the first one. So if you do times 5 for the first variable you would do it the same for the second. answer is 3x^2-3x-2 with remainder -9
