Dividing a polynomial by an integer or an expression is really just another way of simplifying.
There isn’t actually anything new to learn: you just need to be able to simplify numbers (like 20/15 simplifies down to 4/3) and know how to divide with indices (when you divide with indices, you subtract the powers. So x^7 / x^3 = x^4).
To divide a polynomial by a number (or integer), there are 3 simple steps to follow:
(1) Rewrite the question as a fraction.
(2) Split the problem into pieces by writing each term over the denominator.
(3) Finish by simplifying each term.
EXAMPLE: (8a + 10b - 14) / 2.
(1) Rewrite as a fraction (8a + 10b - 14) / 2
(2) Split it up 8a/2 + 10b/2 - 14/2.
(3) 8a divided by 2 is 4a. 10b divided by 2 is 5b. And 14 divided by 2 is 7.
ANSWER: 4a + 5b - 7.
Simple!! We follow the same 3 simple steps for dividing by monomials too (remember that a monomial is an expression with just one variable in).

Plants have developed responses called tropisms. A tropism is a growth in response to a stimulus; so light and water in the plant’s case.
There are different types of tropisms: Positive tropisms are when growth is towards the stimulus - so the plant growing towards the light to maximise the stimul

Enzymes are really important proteins, that speed up the rates of reactions such as in photosynthesis, respiration and protein synthesis.
The enzymes and substrates are always moving, and occasionally they collide at the right speed and
