Use either polynomial long division or synthetic division to get:
Explanation:
Here it is as polynomial long division:
#{: (,,7x^2,+35x,+105,), (x-3,")",bar(7x^3),bar(+14x^2),bar(color(white)("XXX")),bar(-3)), (,,7x^3,-21x^2,,-3), (,,bar(color(white)("XXX")),bar(35x^2),bar(color(white)("XXX")),bar(-3)), (,,,35x^2,-105x,), (,,,bar(color(white)("XXX")),bar(105x),bar(-3)), (,,,,105x,-315), (,,,,bar(color(white)("XXX")),bar(+312)) :}#
