\n" );
document.write( "*Note: in order to slove by factoring, factors must = 0
\n" );
document.write( "(2x-5)(x-2)=15
\n" );
document.write( "2x^2 -9x + 10 = 15
\n" );
document.write( "2x^2 -9x -5 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "(2x +1)(x -5) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "(2x +1)=0
\n" );
document.write( "x = (-1/2)
\n" );
document.write( "(x -5)= 0
\n" );
document.write( "x = 5 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
