We can find the answer using factoring:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E2+-+11x+%2B+15\"$
\n" ); document.write( "factors to
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-5%29%28x-3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is over length of
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we get
\n" ); document.write( "x-3 as the width. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
