x^(2) + 9x + 14 = 0

To solve.

Since 'x^(2)' has a coefficient of '1' ( not shown), then look at the constant' 14'.

Look for two numbers that multiply to ;14; and add to ;9; . To do this write down all the factors of '14' . ; 1,2,7,14. . Select '2' & '7' . 2 X 7 = 14 & 2 + 7 = 9.

Hence , factoring

( x + 2)( x + 7) = 0

Hence the solutions are

x = -2 &

x = -7 .
