Answer

$4x+5$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} \left(12 x^2+23 x+10\right) \div(3 x+2) \end{equation} Use long division. $$ \begin{array}{r} 4x+5\phantom{)} \\ 3 x+2{\overline{\smash{\big)}\,12 x^2+23 x+10\phantom{)}}}\\ \underline{-~\phantom{(}(12x^2+8x)\phantom{-b)}}\\ 0+15x+10\phantom{)}\\ \underline{-~\phantom{()}(15x+10)}\\ 0\phantom{)} \end{array} $$ The solution is \begin{equation} \frac{12 x^2+23 x+10}{3 x+2}=4x+5 \end{equation}
