since its x + 3 we use -3


-3| 2      1      -8      21           (these are the # without the x)
___________________

            -6     15     -21      
-------------------------------
    2      -5      7        0               
 
Drag the 2 down, multiple it by -3 to get -6 
1+(-6) = -5. -5 * -3 =15 . 15+(-8) = 7
7*-3 = -21. -21 +21 = 0 
Since last # is 0 we have a factor.


 factor is 2x^2 -5x -7 (we start with a power 1 less the original.)
