Explanation:
#"one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator"#
#"consider the rearranged numerator"#
#x^3-5x^2+x+10#
#=color(red)(x^2)(x+2)color(magenta)(-2x^2)-5x^2+x+10#
#=color(red)(x^2)(x+2)color(red)(-7x)(x+2)color(magenta)(+14x)+x+10#
#=color(red)(x^2)(x+2)color(red)(-7x)(x+2)color(red)(+15)(x+2)color(magenta)(-30)+10#
#=color(red)(x^2)(x+2)color(red)(-7x)(x+2)color(red)(+15)(x+2)-20#
#"quotient "=color(red)(x^2-7x+15)," remainder "=-20#
#(x-5x^2+10+x^3)/(x+2)=x^2-7x+15-20/(x+2)#
