michele_laino · Answer

please divide x^3 by x

anonymous · Answer

3?

michele_laino · Answer

what is your  result?

michele_laino · Answer

sorry, division between power with the same base is another power with the same base and, for exponent, the difference between the exponent of dividend and divisor

please complete

I am not sure I understand what you are saying...

ok! x^2, now multiply x^2 by the divisor, namely calculate this:
$$x ^{2}(x+y)=...$$
your first step is :
