Answer

$ 4a^2 +27a+35$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $\Rightarrow (12a^3+65a^2-3a-140)\div(3a-4)$ $\begin{matrix} & 4a^2 & +27a &+35 ​& & \leftarrow &Quotient\\ &-- &-- &--&--& \\ 3a-4) &12a^3&+65a^2&-3a&-140 & \\ ​& 12a^3 & -16a^2 & & & \leftarrow &4a^2(3a-4) \\ & -- & -- & & & \leftarrow &subtract \\ & 0 & +81a^2 & -3a & & \\ & & 81a^2 & -108a & & \leftarrow & 27a(3a-4) \\ & & -- & -- & & \leftarrow & subtract \\ & & 0&105a &-140 & \\ ​& & & 105a& -140 & \leftarrow & 35(3a-4) \\ & & & -- & -- & \leftarrow & subtract \\ & & & 0 & 0 & \leftarrow & Remainder ​\end{matrix}$ The answer is $\Rightarrow Quotient + \frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$ $\Rightarrow 4a^2 +27a+35+\frac{0}{3a-4}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 4a^2 +27a+35$.
