Question

When a polynomial is divided by -7x+4, the quotient is x-3 and the remiander is 6. What is the dividend?

Example below

35.) When a polynomial is divided by \((-2x + 5)\), the quotient is \((x + 7)\) with a remainder of 10. What is the dividend?

\[
\frac{\text{Poly}}{-2x+5} = (x+7) + 10
\]

**Solution:**

\[ 
\text{Poly} = (-2x + 5)(x + 7) + 10 
\]

Expanding the expression:

\[
= -2x^2 - 14x + 5x + 35 + 10 
\]

Combine like terms:

\[
= -2x^2 - 9x + 45 
\]

The **dividend**, highlighted, is: 

\[
-2x^2 - 9x + 45
\]
