-7 x -2= 14
24 - 9= 15 So no, it is not equal.

(7x + 5)(x - 2)
Separate and simplify the common terms. 5x^2 - X^2 = 4x^2 -7x - 2x = -9x Now put these terms back together 4x^2 - 9x Or if simplified further, you get: x(4x-9)
2y - 9x = 14 2y = 14 + 9x y = (14 + 9x) / 2
The 7x and the 5x are like terms. This means that you can add them up. Think about it, 7 x's plus 5x's equals 12x's. From there, you can divide 12 from both sides of the equation, and you will get that x = 2.
