#4y-1-4/(2y-1)#

Explanation:

#"one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator"#

#"consider the numerator"#

#color(red)(4y)(2y-1)color(magenta)(+4y)-6y-3#

#=color(red)(4y)(2y-1)color(red)(-1)(2y-1)color(magenta)(-1)-3#

#=color(red)(4y)(2y-1)color(red)(-1)(2y-1)-4#

#"quotient "=color(red)(4y-1)," remainder "=-4#

#rArr(8y^2-6y-3)/(2y-1)=4y-1-4/(2y-1)#
