The area of the triangle could be determined by multiplying the length and the width. Since, we are given the area and the length, to find the width, you divide the area by the length:

w = A ÷ l
w = (x2 - 2x - 15) ÷ (x+3)

What do you have to multiply to (x+3) to yield x2 - 2x - 15? That would be x - 5. Since the sum of -5 and 3 = -2 (middle term) and the their product is -15 (last term).

Hence, the width is (x-5).

Alisiya [41]
If there are 108 students, and the vans can hold up to 5 students, then you would need 22 vans.
If you were to divide 108 by 5, then you would get 21.3 . That 3 is the remaining children, therefore, to fit them in the trip, you would need another van, hence, 22 vans. The van that is not full would have 3 children in it.
