Answer 4

\[\frac{10x^3 −8x^2 −12x}{ 2x} =\frac{10x^3 }{ 2x}−\frac{8x^2}{ 2x} −\frac{12x}{ 2x}\]
\[=\frac{10 }{ 2}x^{3-1}−\frac{8}{ 2}x^{2-1} −\frac{12}{ 2}x^{1-1}\]
\[=5x^{2}−4x^{1} −6x^{0}=5x^{2}−4x −6 \times 1\]
\[=5x^{2}−4x −6\]

@dpasingh Thank you

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 10x^3 −8x^2 −12x }{ 2x }\]
10x^3
------ = 5x^2 Divide coefficient, subtract exponents.
2x

-8x^2
------ = -4x
2x


-12x
----- = -6
2x

answer is : 5x^2 -4x - 6
