.
First addend,  ,  gives the remainder  (-1)^2019 = -1,  when divided by x^5 - 6x + 8.   OBVIOUSLY.


Second addend,  ,  gives the remainder  1^2020 = 1,  when divided by x^5 - 6x + 8.   OBVIOUSLY.


Third addend,  ,  gives the remainder  42,  when divided by x^5 - 6x + 8.   OBVIOUSLY.


Thus we know all three partial remainders, and are in position to answer the question now.


ANSWER.  The remainder under the question is  -1 - 1 + 42 = 40.


Solved, answered, explained and completed.
