need the answer to this been on it for 3 weeks cant get it

[charred flume]

okay

so you need to numbers that multiply to make 14

and add or subtract to make 5

so

[silver kayak]

ok

[charred flume]

for this we can use trial and error or just make an assumptions

so

[silver kayak]

so 7 and 2

[charred flume]

2 numbers that multiply to make 14

yeah

7 and 2

now

because there is a minus sign before the 14

it means the signs are different

so

look at the sign before the 5 which is +

the sign before the x term is always given to the larger number in the brackets

[silver kayak]

ok

so its 7 and 2

or 2 and 7

[charred flume]

so because its positive 5, it means the larger of 2 and 7 (7) gets the + bracket

so (x+7)(x-2)

you can always use trial and error there too by putting them in and multiplying out to see if you get the original equation
