     Word Problem:  Simplify the following: Henry works at Lucky 32.  Henry is dealing with a table of school students.  Not all of the students are there yet, because their bus broke down.  The students at the restaurant know that the students who haven't arrived will want to order food.  Knowing this, they tell Henry to split the bill.  The students go ahead and order which is r^3+90r^2+60r.  Henry counts how many students that are there and it totals 30.  To split the bill, use (r+30) to divide. 

   Solution:      r^2 + 60r + 1740 - 52200/r + 30

                          ! r^3 + 90r^2 + 60r

                          -r^3 - 30r^2

                                   60r^2 + 60r 

                                  -60r^2 - 1800r

                                               -1740r 

                                             + 1740r + 52200
