\n" );
document.write( "2x^2 - 7x = 15
\n" );
document.write( "2x^2 - 7x -15 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "factoring
\n" );
document.write( "(2x +  ?)(x  - ?)  will need to be the format of the factoring
\n" );
document.write( "(2x +3)(x -5) = 0  works as 3x - 10x = -7x
\n" );
document.write( "(2x +3)=0
\n" );
document.write( "x = -3/2
\n" );
document.write( "(x -5)=0
\n" );
document.write( "x = 5 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
