    (2x^5-3x^4-5x^2+0x-10) / x - 4

    It won't turn out great on Yahoo Answers, but do this:

    You multiply 4 X the bottom number, put it in the second row, add the first and the second number, and so on.

    4] 2 -3 -5 -10

    8 20 60

    --------------------

    2 5 15] 50

    The answer is 2x^2 + 5x + 15 + (50/x - 4)
