#(x^3+0x^2+5x−1)/(x−1)=x^2+x+6+5/(x-1)#

Explanation:

#(x^3+0x^2+5x−1)÷(x−1)=x^2+x+6#
#(x^3-x^2)/#
#color(white)(.)0+x^2+5x-1#
#color(white)(.......)(x^2-x)/#
#color(white)(........)0+6x-1#
#color(white)(..............)(6x-6)/#
#color(white)(.................)(0+5)/#

#(x^3+0x^2+5x−1)/(x−1)=x^2+x+6+5/(x-1)#
