How do you divide (8g^3-6g^2+3g+5)/(2g+3)?

By the ordinary algorithm division or by Ruffini method as the divisor is of first degree
Q(x)=4g^2-9g+15 and R(x)=-40

Explanation:

I prefer the ordinary algorithm division because it is of "universal use"
8g^3-6g^2+3g+5-(2g+3)( **4g^2** )=-18g^2+3g+5 first partial quotient and remainder

-18g^2+3g+5-(2g+3)( **-9g** )=30g+5 second partial quotient and remainder

30g+5-(2g+3)( **15** )=-40 last quotient term and final remainder

the quotient is Q(x)=4g^2-9g+15 the remainder is R(x)= -40
