Problem #16 - Synthethic Division


Divide:
-8x2 - 7x + 2
x - 6

Answer: ____


-- to note: the original problem had multiple choice answers, but again, that invoves some form of deductive reasoning, in which the least likely answers are elimated in favor for the answer that looks more likely. I'll see if I remember how to solve the above (hint that may throw all of us off: do I use the quadratic formula?)
