Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Divide leading term of dividend by leading term of divisor.
2. Multiply divisor by the quotient term and subtract.
3. Repeat until remainder degree is less than divisor degree.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Stopping with remainder degree at least divisor degree.
