Answer

$3g-4$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \left(3 g^2-19 g+20\right) \div(g-5) \end{aligned} \end{equation} Use synthetic division. \begin{equation} \begin{array}{r|rrr} 5& 3 & -19 & 20 \\ & & 15 & -20 \\ \hline & 3 & -4 & 0 \end{array} \end{equation} The solution is \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \frac{3 g^2-19 g+20}{g-5}= 3g-4 \end{aligned} \end{equation}
