You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I am confused by your answer???\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "why wasnt the 15 subtracted from the -5?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This was my solution
\n" ); document.write( "5x^3-5x+1/x-3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 5x^2+10x31/x-3
\n" ); document.write( "x-3 /5x^3-5x+1
\n" ); document.write( " -5x^3-15 [here you subtracted 15 which should have been 15x^2.
\n" ); document.write( " +10+1 seeing as ther is no x^2 term you bring down the -15x^2]
\n" ); document.write( " -10+30
\n" ); document.write( " +31/x-3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Where did I go wrong?\r
