You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your solution is attached as best i can determine.

step 1 is dividing the equationj by 2x^2 + x - 2.

you are left with a remainder of (a+2)x + (b-4).

step 2 is setting that remainder to 5x - 11 which is the stated remainder.

5x - 11 = (a+2)x + (b-4) if and only if a = 3 and b = -7.

step 3 is confirming the solution is correct by repeating the division after you have replace a with 3 and b with - 7.

your solution gets you a remainder of 5x - 11.

this confirms the solution is correct.

the amount collected by mr. sharma was 4x^4 + 2x^3 - 8x^2 + 3x - 7.
