Answer:

x=7,  x=  -2

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Start by putting the whole equation to one side:  x2-5x=14 ---->               x2-5x-14=0
  2. Next, factor the equation:  x,x    -7,2 ----> (x-7)(x+2)=0
  3. Now, solve both equations: x-7=0....x=7   AND   x+2=0.....x=  -2
  4. Plug both in to make sure that they are correct....both are correct
