Multiply (x-3)(x+1) to get the unfactored polynomial

The factor could be anything

To make it easy let’s make it one

So

P(x) = (x-3)(x+1)(1) + 2x + 7

Actually since they are divisors then you only need to divide (2x+7)/(x-3)

Since you want to eliminate the x term from the numerator

And x-3 is a stated divisor
