Answer:

x - 8 + $\frac{12}{x+3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do the division is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator

Consider the numerator

x(x + 3) - 3x - 5x - 12

= x(x + 3) - 8(x + 3) + 24 - 12

= x(x + 3) - 8(x + 3) + 12

quotient = x - 8 and remainder = 12

$\frac{x^2-5x-12}{x+3}$ = x - 8 + $\frac{12}{x+3}$

Steps to solving equations:
Simplify/combine the like terms
Isolate the variable (Get the variable on one side
Solve for the variable

-2y - 7 + 5y = 13 - 2y Simplify/Combine terms
3y -7 = 13 - 2y Isolate variable by adding 2y to both sides
5y - 7 = 13 Add 7 to both sides to get y alone on one side
5y = 20 Divide by 5 on both sides to solve for y
y = 4
You can check your answer by replacing y with 4 in the original equation.
