Divide 2 x squared plus 7 x minus 3 by 2 x plus 5 Which expression represents the quotient and remainder?

Dividing the leading terms, 2x² ÷ 2x gives x. Subtracting x(2x + 5) leaves 2x − 3; then 2x ÷ 2x gives 1, and subtracting 2x + 5 leaves a remainder of −8. So the quotient-and-remainder expression is x + 1 − 8/(2x + 5), which is choice C.
