\(\boxed{x^2 + x - 5 + \frac{8}{4x + 3}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :\(4x^3 + 7x^2 - 17x - 7 \div 4x + 3\)

Step 2 :\(4x^3 ÷ 4x = x^2\)

Step 3 :\((4x + 3)x^2 = 4x^3 + 3x^2\)

Step 4 :\(4x^3 + 7x^2 - (4x^3 + 3x^2) = 4x^2 - 17x - 7\)

Step 5 :\(4x^2 ÷ 4x = x\)

Step 6 :\((4x + 3)x = 4x^2 + 3x\)

Step 7 :\(4x^2 - 17x - (4x^2 + 3x) = -20x - 7\)

Step 8 :\(-20x ÷ 4x = -5\)

Step 9 :\((4x + 3)(-5) = -20x - 15\)

Step 10 :\(-20x - 7 - (-20x - 15) = 8\)

Step 11 :\(\boxed{x^2 + x - 5 + \frac{8}{4x + 3}}\)
