Just like regular long division. Same process but easier. Here it is shown without breaking into separate steps.

____________|_____3x________4
____________|___________________________
__x-4_______|_____3x^2______-8x______-25
____________|_____3x^2______-12x
____________|____________________________
___________________0________4x______-25
____________________________4x_______-16
_____________________________________________
_____________________________0________-9


The quotient is 3x%2B4, and the remainder is -9.
This means, the result of the division is the rational expression,
3x%2B4-9%2F%28x-4%29.
