-2x^2 + 15x + 25
         --------------------------
(x-3)  |   -2x^3 + 21x^2 - 20x - 12
          |   -2x^3 +   6x^2
             ------------------
                            15x^2  - 20x
                             15x^2 - 45x
                         ------------------
                                           25x - 12
                                           25x - 75
                                         -------------
