keep getting a million different answers to this problem:
(9x^3-6x^2+8x+3) divided by (3x+2)
What is the correct answer??

You end up with a remainder, so it's not pretty, but you should be able to do long division and get:
3x^2 - 4x + (16/3) - 23/(3*(3x+2))

Are you sure that is the exact question? It looks, to me, like it isn't divisible because you can only factor (3x - 2) out of the first two, not (3x + 2).
I could be wrong, but since no one had answered yet I'm offering a suggestion.

I did it and I got 3x^2 + 2 + (2x-1) / (3x +2)
The remainder is 2x-1 (you write it as a fraction over the dividend)
It's hard to explain how to do it here, but you can go to this site. It has a good step-by-step example.
Hope it helps ;-) good luck!

Yeah, I just tried it, and it didn't work out right. I'll try it again though, and edit if I get it.
