To divide the polynomial \(2x^3 + 3x^2 - 21x + 20\) by \(x - 2\), we can use polynomial long division.

1. **Setup the Division**:
We want to divide \(2x^3 + 3x^2 - 21x + 20\) by \(x - 2\).

2. **Divide the Leading Terms**:
Divide the leading term of the dividend \(2x^3\) by the leading term of the divisor \(x\):
\[
2x^2
\]
This will be the first term of the quotient.

3. **Multiply and Subtract**:
Multiply \(2x^2\) by \(x - 2\):
\[
2x^2(x - 2) = 2x^3 - 4x^2
\]
Now subtract this from the original polynomial:
\[
(2x^3 + 3x^2) - (2x^3 - 4x^2) = 3x^2 + 4x^2 = 7x^2
\]
Bring down the next term, which is \(-21x\):
\[
7x^2 - 21x
\]

4. **Repeat the Process**:
Now divide \(7x^2\) by \(x\):
\[
7x
\]
Multiply \(7x\) by \(x - 2\):
\[
7x(x - 2) = 7x^2 - 14x
\]
Subtract:
\[
(7x^2 - 21x) - (7x^2 - 14x) = -21x + 14x = -7x
\]
Bring down the next term (constant 20):
\[
-7x + 20
\]

5. **Divide Again**:
Now divide \(-7x\) by \(x\):
\[
-7
\]
Multiply \(-7\) by \(x - 2\):
\[
-7(x - 2) = -7x + 14
\]
Subtract:
\[
(-7x + 20) - (-7x + 14) = 20 - 14 = 6
\]

6. **Final Result**:
Now we have determined the quotient and the remainder:
- Quotient \(q(x) = 2x^2 + 7x - 7\)
- Remainder \(r(x) = 6\)

Putting it all together, we can express the result as:
\[
2x^2 + 7x - 7 + \frac{6}{x - 2}
\]

So, in the requested form, it's:
\[
q(x) + \frac{r(x)}{b(x)} = 2x^2 + 7x - 7 + \frac{6}{x - 2}
\]
