Math & Science ⇒ Math mode outside page border

[exactos]

I am trying to get all my text inside the page borders but this one seems to be giving me some trouble. Any ideas, guys?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,latexsym,amsfonts,amssymb,amsmath,verbatim,theapa,lscape, multirow,
xcolor, booktabs, upgreek, caption}

\begin{document}

Similarly, the competitive marginal offers [\begin{math}\left(
{{\rm{start \!-\!up \;fee}} + {\rm{price \;per \;unit}} \times
{\rm{2}}} \right) \div 2 \end{math}] would have to be 20 during the
off-peak periods, 172 during the peak periods and 93 during the
shoulder 2 periods.


\end{document}

Hi,

why don't just rephrasing the sentence? Something like this would do (of course, I am not a native English speaker so try a better version)

Code: Select all

Similarly, [\begin{math}\left(
{{\rm{start \!-\!up \;fee}} + {\rm{price \;per \;unit}} \times
{\rm{2}}} \right) \div 2 \end{math}] which gives the competitive marginal offers, would have to be 20 during the
off-peak periods, 172 during the peak periods and 93 during the
shoulder 2 periods.

use math only for the relevant symbols and not for the text

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

Similarly, the competitive marginal offers [start $-$ up fee
$+$ price per unit $\times 2) \div 2 $] would have to be 20 during the
off-peak periods, 172 during the peak periods and 93 during the
shoulder 2 periods.
