We are dividing the polynomial by a monomial. In essence, we are dividing each term of the polynomial by the monomial. First I like to re-write this expression as a fraction. So,

So now we see the three terms to be divided on top. We will divide each term by the monomial on the bottom. To show this better, we can rewrite the equation. 
Now we must remember the rule for dividing variable exponents. The rule is
So, we can use this rule and apply it to our expression above. Then,

The distributive property is handy to help get rid of parentheses in expressions. The distributive property says you "distribute" the multiple to every term inside the parentheses. In symbols, the rule states that

So, using this rule, we get 
Thus we have our answer is

The most important part of this problem is to remember the order of operations: PEMDAS
First: Perform any calculations that are within parentheses.
Second: Perform any calculations that are raised to an exponent.
Third: Working from left to right, perform any multiplications or divisions.
Fourth: Working from left to right, perform any additions or subtractions
For this problem:
First we do all of the calculations inside parentheses:
and

Another option is to multiply through the numerator and the denominator, and then reduce.

Remember when their are exponents in the numerator and denominator with the same base you subtract the denominator from the numerator.

Following the order of operations, let's do all the parenthesis first. Within the parenthesis, we still follow the order of operations, and complete the exponential before doing the addition:


Now we can go through and do all the multiplication and division. Remember, we can't divide through the addition signs, so we'll leave that for later.

Now we can do the addition/subtraction:

Because we're dealing with fractions, it would help if we simplified:
