#4x+3+5/(x+4)#

Explanation:

#color(white)(.........)color(white)(..)4x+3#
#x+4|overline(4x^2+19x+17)#
#color(white)(............)ul(4x^2+16x)#
#color(white)(......................)3x+17#
#color(white)(......................)ul(3x+12)#
#color(white)(.................................)5#

#(4x^2+19x+17) / (x+4) = 4x+3+5/(x+4)#
