\(\dfrac{5x^3}{5x} + \dfrac{10x^2}{5x} + \dfrac{15x}{5x} \)
\(=\dfrac{5x\cdot x^2}{5x} + \dfrac{2\cdot 5x\cdot x}{5x} + \dfrac{3 \cdot 5x}{5x} \)
\(=\dfrac{\cancel{5x}\cdot x^2}{\cancel{5x}1} + \dfrac{2\cdot \cancel{5x}\cdot x}{\cancel{5x}1} + \dfrac{3 \cdot \cancel{5x}}{\cancel{5x}1} \)
What's left?

\(=\dfrac{\cancel{5x}\cdot \color{red}{x^2}}{\cancel{5x}1} + \dfrac{\color{red}{2}\cdot \cancel{5x}\cdot \color{red}{x}}{\cancel{5x}1} + \dfrac{\color{red}{3} \cdot \cancel{5x}}{\cancel{5x}1}\)
I colored what is left red.
