Answer

The expression for the missing side $ = 10x-3$.

Work Step by Step

Let $y = $ the expression for the missing side $(4x-7)y = 40x^{2}-82x+21$ $y = \frac{40x^{2}-82x+21}{4x-7}$ $= \frac{40x^{2}-70x-12x+21}{4x-7}$ $= \frac{10x(4x-7)-3(4x-7)}{4x-7}$ $= \frac{(10x-3)(4x-7)}{4x-7}$ $= \frac{(10x-3)}{1}$ $y = 10x-3$
