$\frac{7 x - 14}{2 - x}$

Step 1

Divide each term in the denominator by $- 1$ to make the coefficient of linear factor variable $1$ .

$\frac{1}{- 1} \cdot \frac{7 x - 14}{x - 2}$

Step 2

Place the numbers representing the divisor and the dividend into a division-like configuration.

$2$	$7$	$- 14$

Step 3

The first number in the dividend $(7)$ is put into the first position of the result area (below the horizontal line).

Step 4

Multiply the newest entry in the result $(7)$ by the divisor $(2)$ and place the result of $(14)$ under the next term in the dividend $(- 14)$ .

Step 5

Add the product of the multiplication and the number from the dividend and put the result in the next position on the result line.

Step 6

All numbers except the last become the coefficients of the quotient polynomial. The last value in the result line is the remainder.

$(\frac{1}{- 1}) \cdot 7$
