#x+13+32/(x-5)#

Explanation:

#"one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator"#

#"consider the numerator"#

#color(red)(x)(x-5)color(magenta)(+5x)+8x-33#

#=color(red)(x)(x-5)color(red)(+13)(x-5)color(magenta)(+65)-33#

#=color(red)(x)(x-5)color(red)(+13)(x-5)+32#

#"quotient "=color(red)(x+13)," remainder "=32#

#rArr(x^2+8x-33)/(x-5)=x+13+32/(x-5)#
