(x-2) goes into 2x%5E3-3x%5E2: 2x%5E2
to get
2x%5E3-4x%5E2
subtracting
2x%5E3+-+2x%5E3+-+3x%5E2+-+4x%5E2
yielding
-7x%5E2
...
(x-2) goes into -7x%5E2-x: -7x
to get
-7x%5E2+%2B+14x
subtracting
-7x%5E2+-+-7x%5E2+-+x+-+14x
yielding
-15x
...
(x-2) goes into -15x -2: -15
to get
-15x + 30
subtracting
-15x - -15x - 2 - 30
yielding
-32
