Answer

$3x+2y$

Work Step by Step

The long division method below shows the result of $ (15x^2+7xy-2y^2)\div(5x-y) .$ $$\begin{array}{l} \phantom{5x-y)}\phantom{1^2}3x+\phantom{7x}2y \\ \color{blue}{5x-y}\color{black}{\overline{\smash{)}15x^2+\phantom{1}7xy-2y^2}} \\ \phantom{5x-y)}\underline{15x^{2}-\phantom{1}3xy} \\ \phantom{5x-y)15x^{2}-}10xy-2y^2 \\ \phantom{5x-y)15x^{2}-}\underline{10xy-2y^2} \\ \color{red}{\phantom{5x-y)15x^{2}-10xy-2}0} \end{array}$$Hence, the quotient is $3x+2y$.
