From the Division Algorithm for Polynomials theorem,

f(x) = q(x)g(x) + r(x) or we say:

dividend = (quotient)(divisor) + (remainder)

In our case,

quotient = x^2 - 5x - 6; divisor = x - 3; and remainder = 5.

Substitute what you know into the formula, and you will have:

f(x) = (x^2 - 5x - 6)(x - 3) + 5

f(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 - 6x - 3x^2 + 15x + 18 + 5

f(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 - 3x^2 - 6x + 15x + 18 + 5

f(x) = x^3 - 8x^2 + 9x + 23 (this is the required polynomial)
