bear with us, hard to demo on typewriter
division is an algorithm of: divide, multiply, subtract, bring down, and repeat
the same applies to polynomials

step (1)(3x^2) step (2) (-10x) step (3)(+40)

___________3x2 -10x +40____-124/(x+3)____________________
x+3 ! 3x^3 -x^2 +10x -4
- ( 3x^3 +9x^2) step (1) (3x^2 *(x+3))
________________
-10x^2 +10x
- ( -10x^2 -30x) step(2) ( -10x *(x+3))
___________________
+40x -4
- (+40x +120) step(3) (40 * (x+3))
_________________
-124

restating (3x^3-x^2+10x-4) / (x+3) = 3x^2 -10x +40 - (124) /( x+3)

check ( 3x^2 -10x +40) * ( x+3) = 3x^3 -x^2 +10x +120 + rem of (-124) ok
note we just could not get it to space well, if you rewrite with spacing it might be better
note if this is understood review next step of synthetic division pls
