#8x+9-6/(x+6)#

Explanation:

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

#"consider the numerator"#

#color(red)(8x)(x+6)color(magenta)(-48x)+57x+48#

#=color(red)(8x)(x+6)color(red)(+9)(x+6)color(magenta)(-54)+48#

#=color(red)(8x)(x+6)color(red)(+9)(x+6)-6#

#"quotient "=color(red)(8x+9)," remainder "=-6#

#rArr(8x^2+57x+48)/(x+6)=8x+9-6/(x+6)#
