**Topic: Polynomial Division Using Synthetic Division**

### Problem Statement:
Use synthetic division to divide. (Simplify your answer completely.)

\[ \frac{(3x^3 + 11x^2 + 15x - 4)}{(x + 5)} \]

\[ \text{where } x \neq -5 \]

**Note:** There is a placeholder box after which the solution steps and final simplified answer are to be written.

### Explanation:

#### 1. Identify the coefficients of the dividend polynomial:
\[ f(x) = 3x^3 + 11x^2 + 15x - 4 \]
The coefficients are: 3, 11, 15, and -4.

#### 2. Identify the root of the divisor \( (x + 5) \):
The root is \( x = -5 \).

#### 3. Set up the synthetic division:
- Write the root \( -5 \) on the left.
- Write the coefficients of \( f(x) \) in a row: 3, 11, 15, -4.

#### 4. Perform the synthetic division steps:
\[ \begin{array}{r|rrrr}
-5 & 3 & 11 & 15 & -4 \\
   &   & -15 & 20 & -175 \\
\hline
   & 3 & -4 & 35 & -179 \\
\end{array} \]

Here's how the division is carried out:
- Bring down the first coefficient (3) directly.
- Multiply -5 by 3 and write the product (-15) under the next coefficient (11).
- Add the column: 11 - 15 = -4.
- Continue this process: 
    - Multiply -5 by -4 to get 20, 
    - Add the column: 15 + 20 = 35,
    - Multiply -5 by 35 to get -175, 
    - Add the column: -4 - 175 = -179.

#### 5. Write the quotient:
The quotient polynomial is obtained from the resulting row (ignoring the remainder):
\[ 3x^2 - 4x + 35 \]

#### 6. Write the remainder:
The remainder is -179.

### Simplified Answer:
The result of the division is:

\[ \boxed{3x^2 - 4x +
