Answer

$ 2x^2-4x+1-\frac{10}{5x-3}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $(10x^3-26x^2+17x-13)\div(5x-3)$ $\begin{matrix} & 2x^2 & -4x&+1 ​& & \leftarrow &Quotient\\ &-- &-- &--& \\ 5x-3) &10x^3&-26x^2&+17x&-13 & \\ ​& 10x^3&-6x^2 & & & \leftarrow &2x^2(5x-3) \\ & -- & -- & & & \leftarrow &subtract \\ & 0 & -20x^2 &+17x& & \\ & & -20x^2 & +12x & & \leftarrow & -4x(5x-3) \\ & & -- & -- && \leftarrow & subtract \\ & & 0&5x &-13&\\ & & &5x &-3&\leftarrow & +1(5x-3)\\ & & & -- & -- & \leftarrow & subtract \\ & & &0 &-10&\leftarrow & Remainder ​\end{matrix}$ The answer is $\Rightarrow Quotient + \frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$ $\Rightarrow 2x^2-4x+1-\frac{10}{5x-3}$.
