The answer is #2x^2-3x+4+5/(3x-5)#

Explanation:

Let's do the long division
#color(white)(aaa)##6x^3-19x^2+27x-15##color(white)(aaa)##∣##3x-5#
#color(white)(aaa)##6x^3-10x^2##color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)##∣##2x^2-3x+4#
#color(white)(aaaaa)##0-9x^2+27x#
#color(white)(aaaaaaa)##-9x^2+15x#
#color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaa)##0+12x-15#
#color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)##+12x-20#
#color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)##0+5#

The quotient is #=(2x^2-3x+4)# and the remainder is #=5#
