Is the plus sign supposed to be a minus sign? If so  you should use -1.

anonymous · Answer

-1 | 12     5     3       0    -5
             -12     7   -10    10
---------------------------------
       12   -7    10   -10    -5

oh no the + before (x+1) was supposed to be a division sign...

anonymous · Answer

I don't know why I typed minus, I meant division. But yeah, that's the synthetic division worked out, just give values to the numbers.
12x^3 -7x^2 +10x-10, R -5.
