Hi,

May be accomplished much like any divsion Problem

           3x^2 + (-5x) +   4

        __________________________

2x + 3 | 6x^3 - x^2 -  7x - 9

        - (6x^3 + 9x^2)

       ---------------

                -10x^2 - 7x

             - (-10x^2 - 15x))

                --------------

                         8x - 9

                      - (8x  +12)

                          --------

                               -21
