To divide \( 28x^3 + 16x^2 + 24x \) by \(-4x\), we can rewrite the expression as follows: \[ \frac{28x^3 + 16x^2 + 24x}{-4x} \] Now, we can split the division across each term in the numerator: \[ \frac{28x^3}{-4x} + \frac{16x^2}{-4x} + \frac{24x}{-4x} \] Now we simplify each term: 1. For the first term: \[ \frac{28x^3}{-4x} = -7x^{3-1} = -7x^2 \] 2. For the second term: \[ \frac{16x^2}{-4x} = -4x^{2-1} = -4x \] 3. For the third term: \[ \frac{24x}{-4x} = -6 \] Now, combining all the simplified terms, we have: \[ -7x^2 - 4x - 6 \] Thus, the simplified answer is: \[ \boxed{-7x^2 - 4x - 6} \]
