Answer

$-12$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $\Rightarrow (20x^3+23x^2-10x+k)\div (4x+3)$ $\begin{matrix} & 5x^2 & +2x &-4 & & \leftarrow &Quotient\\ &-- &-- &--&--& \\ 4x+3) &20x^3&+23x^2&-10x&+k & \\ & 20x^3 & +15x^2 & & & \leftarrow &5x^2(4x+3) \\ & -- & -- & & & \leftarrow &subtract \\ & 0 & 8x^2 & -10x & & \\ & & 8x^2 & 6x & & \leftarrow & 2x(4x+3) \\ & & -- & -- & & \leftarrow & subtract \\ & & 0&-16x &+k& \\ & & & -16x& -12 & \leftarrow & -4(4x+3) \\ & & & -- & -- & \leftarrow & subtract \\ & & & 0 & 0 & \leftarrow & Remainder \end{matrix}$ From the above calculations, $k$=$-12$.
