Synthetic division is a quick method of dividing polynomials; it can be used when the divisor is of the form x-c. In synthetic division, we write only the essential parts of the long division. Notice that the long division of the given problem is written as:
thus, the synthetic division of the given problem would be:
Writing 6 instead of -6 allows us to add instead of subtracting. We can conclude that the correct answer is:
