Q10 answer. Do Long division first so obtain the remainders.
Since the remainders are equal, you equate them first.
Although it may seem like you will not be able to obtain P by itself.
When expanding out P and equating the 2 remainders, you realise the square of P will cancel each other out and leave you with P only.
