2 x 2 + x − 6 5 x − 1 1 = ( x + 2 ) G + 2 x − 3 W
2 x 2 + x − 6 5 x − 1 1 = 2 x 2 + x − 6 G ( 2 x − 3 ) + W ( x + 2 )
G ( 2 x − 3 ) + W ( x + 2 ) = 5 x − 1 1
This is equivalent to a system of equations for G and W
2 G + W = 5
3 G + 2 W = 1 1
Solution is G = 3 , W = − 1

2 x 2 + x − 6 5 x − 1 1 ⟹ x + 2 G + 2 x − 3 W G + 2 x − 3 W ( x + 2 ) ⟹ G ⟹ W = ( x + 2 ) ( 2 x − 3 ) 5 x − 1 1 = ( x + 2 ) ( 2 x − 3 ) 5 x − 1 1 = 2 x − 3 5 x − 1 1 = 2 ( − 2 ) − 3 5 ( − 2 ) − 1 1 = 3 = ( 2 3 ) + 2 5 ( 2 3 ) − 1 1 = − 1 Multiplying both sides by x + 2 Putting x = − 2 Similarly × ( 2 x − 3 ) and x = 2 3
⟹ G = 3 , W = − 1
