You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%289x%5E3-12x%5E2-3x%29%2F3x
It is not possible to express the long division in this website, however, I can talk you through it:
---------------------
Perform the division one term at a time:
9x%5E3%2F3x=3x%5E2
-12x%5E2%2F3x=-4x
-3x%2F3x=-1
Your final answer is:
highlight%283x%5E2-4x-1%29

Good Luck,
