Christa wants to test whether various linear expressions divide exactly into $P\left(x\right)$P(x), or whether they leave a remainder. For each linear expression below, state the value of $x$x that needs to be substituted into $P\left(x\right)$P(x) to find the remainder.
a
$x+3$x+3
b
$8-x$8−x
c
$5+4x$5+4x
d
$6-x$6−x

If $P\left(x\right)=-2x^4+7x^3-3x^2-6x-5$P(x)=−2x4+7x3−3x2−6x−5 and $A\left(x\right)=x+2$A(x)=x+2. Use the remainder theorem to find the remainder when $P\left(x\right)$P(x) is divided by $A\left(x\right)$A(x).
