Let

x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag

we know that

1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x

remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x

2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x

remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x

3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x

remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x

4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10

(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts

5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts

6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts

7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts

8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts

9) Preston took 10

so

check

108+54+81+10=253

remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct

Answer: <span><span>2x² + x - 2</span> (the first option)

Explanation:

1) Question: divide 8x⁴+2x³-7x²+3x-2 by 4x² - x + 1

2) First term of the quotient

</span><span>  8x⁴ + 2x³ - 7x² + 3x - 2     | 4x² - x + 1
                                           ---------------------
 -8x⁴ + 2x³ - 2x²                   2x²
----------------------------------
           4x³ - 9x² + 3x - 2

3) Second term of the quotient:
</span>
<span>  8x⁴ + 2x³ - 7x² + 3x - 2     | 4x² - x + 1
                                           ---------------------
 -8x⁴ + 2x³ - 2x²                   2x² + x
----------------------------------
           4x³ - 9x² + 3x - 2
          -4x³ +  x² -   x
        ----------------------------
                  - 8x² + 2x - 2

4) third term of the quotient:
</span>
<span>  8x⁴ + 2x³ - 7x² + 3x - 2     | 4x² - x + 1
                                           ---------------------
 -8x⁴ + 2x³ - 2x²                   2x² + x - 2
----------------------------------
           4x³ - 9x² + 3x - 2
          -4x³ +  x² -   x
        ----------------------------
                  - 8x² + 2x - 2
                    8x²  - 2x + 2
                 -------------------------
                             0

5) Conclusion: since the remainder is 0, the division is exact and the quotient is </span>2x² + x - 2

You can verify the answer by multiplying the quotient obtained by the divisor. The result has to be the dividend.
