Answer

$x+5$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccc} & &x & +5 & & \\ & &--&--&--&\\ x-2&) &x^{2} &+3x& -10 & \\ & &x^{2} & -2x& & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{x(x-2) } } \\ & &--&-- & & \color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & 5x & -10 & \\ & & & 5x & -10 & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{5(x-2) } }\\ & & &--&-- & \color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & & 0 & \end{array}$ Quotient = $x+5$ Remainder = $0$. $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{x^{2} +3x -10}{x-2}$ = $x+5$
