         5x       -7
     ----------------------------------
x-2  |   5x^2    -17x     17
     |   5x^2    -10x
     |----------------
         0      -7x      17
                -7x      14
               -------------
                         3

5x-7%2B3%2F%28x-2%29

Why the "-10x" found in the x%5E1 column:
5x%28x-2%29
5x%5E2-10-----which should be subtracted from the dividend. When this subtraction is done, the x%5E1 term will be -7x.
