Question

How do you long divide `n^2 - 11n - 26` by `n+2`?

Answer 1

`n-13`

Explanation:

I'll just show you my solution here.

`" "ul(n-13)`
`n+2" "|n^2-11n-26`
`color(white)(n+2)" "ul(-n^2-2n)`
`color(white)(n+2)" "-13n-26`
`color(white)(n+2)" "ul(13n+26)`
`color(white)(n+2)" "0`

So, `n^2-11n-26` divided by `n+2` is `color(blue)(n-13)`.
