Let's rewrite the given expression correctly: (2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5) / (y + 1) Dividing the expression between y + 1 we have: 2y2 + y - 5 We can check the result: (2y2 + y - 5) * (y + 1) = (2y3 + y2 - 5y + 2y2 + y - 5) = (2y3 + 3y2 - 4y - 5) Division OK. Answer: The result of the division is: 2y2 + y - 5
