The answer is 2x^2-3x+4+5/(3x-5)

Explanation:

Let's do the long division
color(white)(aaa)6x^3-19x^2+27x-15color(white)(aaa)3x-5
color(white)(aaa)6x^3-10x^2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)2x^2-3x+4
color(white)(aaaaa)0-9x^2+27x
color(white)(aaaaaaa)-9x^2+15x
color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaa)0+12x-15
color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)+12x-20
color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)0+5

The quotient is =(2x^2-3x+4) and the remainder is =5
