Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

A=lw

So, we are given that the area is:

x^3-5x^2+3x-15

And the width is:

x^2+3

And we want to find the length. To do so, first substitute the expressions into the equation:

x^3-5x^2+3x-15=(x^2+3)l

Thus, to find the length, divide by (x²+3):

l=\frac{x^3-5x^2+3x-15}{x^2+3}

So, factor the numerator:

x^3-5x^2+3x-15

From the first two terms, factor out a x^2.

From the third and fourth terms, factor out a 3:

=x^2(x-5)+3(x-5)

Combine:

=(x^2+3)(x-5)

Putting this back:

l=\frac{(x^2+3)(x-5)}{x^2+3}

Cancel:

l=x-5

And that's our answer :)

I believe it would be D.
