2. Steps Divide Multiply *distributive property* Subtract Bring down Repeat

3. Example 2x^2+5x-3 divided by 1x+3

4. Divide First you divide the 2x into the 2x^2 and you get 1x

5. Multiply *distributive* Then you multiply the 2x and the 1x and the -1 and the 1x in the problem. You put that 2x^2 under the 2x^2 and the -1x under the 5x in the problem to subtract.

6. Subtract Change the sign of the 1x and subtract the 5x and the -1x. The remaining number will be 6x.

7. Bring down Bring down the 3 so the problem reads 6x-3.

8. Repeat Divide the 2x into the 6x and you will get 3. Multiply the 2x and the 3 and the -1 by the 3 and you get 6x-3. Subtract the numbers and change the signs and you get a remainder of 0. The answer to the problem is 1x+3.
