You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Well, I don't know about using FOL for division problems such as you have here.
The FOIL method is usually used for multiplying polynomials, however, we can still do the problem.
%283x%5E2%2B11x-4%29%2F%283x-1%29 Factor the numerator.
highlight%28%283x-1%29%29%28x%2B4%29%2Fhighlight%28%283x-1%29%29 Cancel the hihglighted factors.
highlight%28x%2B4%29 This is the result!
