Answer: c. divide the previous value by 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, there is an expanded algorithm for synthetic division involving nonlinear and non-monic divisors (check out the w.i.k.i.pedia page on "synthetic division", under the "Expanded sythetic division" section).
The answer is simple to work out you do 3/8 + 1/3
but the denominators are different so you find the lowest common multiple in this case 24 .
the frection is now 9/24 + 8/24 this is 17/24
I changed the fraction by doing this 24(common multiple) divided by 8 (denominator) that's how I got it if you don't understand just ask me
