Answer

$2x-3+\displaystyle \frac{2}{4x+9}$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccc} & &2x & -3 & & \\ & &--&-- &--& \\ 4x+9&) & 8x^{2} & +6x& -25 & \\ & & 8x^{2} & +18x& & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{2x(4x+9) } } \\ & &--&-- & & \color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & -12x& -25 & \\ & & & -12x & -27& \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{-3(4x+9) } }\\ & & &--&-- & \color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & & +2&\\ \end{array}$ Quotient = $2x-3$ Remainder = $2$. $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{ 8x^{2} +6x -25}{4x+9}$ = $2x-3+\displaystyle \frac{2}{4x+9}$
