Solve the following quadratic equation by factoring. x^2 - 5x = 14

Answer 1

Answer:

x^2 - 5x = 14

x^2 - 5x-14 = 0

Now, we have to find the multiples of -14 and numbers that add/subtract to -5; this helps to find the factors.

-7+2 = -5

-7*2 = -14

Based on the above info, we can find out my factors; they are:-

(x-7)(x+2)
