Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward algebraic division question worth only 1 mark with multiple choice answers provided. It requires either polynomial long division or comparing coefficients, both routine A-level techniques, but the multiple choice format and single mark indicate it's testing basic procedural fluency rather than problem-solving ability.
The expression
$$\frac{12x^2 + 3x + 7}{3x - 5}$$
can be written as
$$Ax + B + \frac{C}{3x - 5}$$
State the value of \(A\)
Circle your answer.
