What is the remainder for the synthetic division problem?

Answer:
C. 54
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Drop down the 1
2. Multiply 1 by 3, put that answer, 3, underneath the 5
3. Add 3+5, then put that answer, 8, below.
4. Multiply 8 by 3, put the answer, 24, under the -8
5. Add 24 and -8 to get 16, drop 16 underneath
6. Multiply 16 by 3, put the answer, 48, under the 6
7. Add 48 and 6 to get 54. Drop 54 below.
Now there are no more coefficients to add the 54 to, so 54 is the remainder!
I hope this helped, the explanation without writing it down is kind of confusing. :))
