Answer 3

6m^3-16m^2+15m-40

(6m^3-16m^2)+(15m-40)

2m^2(3m-8)+(15m-40)

I'll let you finish factoring

Answer 4

after you factor, you'll find cancellations occur and the answer will be left behind

Answer 5

would it be A?

Answer 6

yep

Answer 7

Thanks

Answer 8

sure thing

Answer 9

$$\begin{align*}\frac{6m^3-16m^2+15m-40}{2m^2+5}&=\frac{2m^2(3m-8)+5(3m-8)}{2m^2+5}\\&=\frac{(3m-8)(2m^2+5)}{2m^2+5}\\&=3m-8\end{align*}$$
