I will assume you mean 7x + 5. In general, a binomial (two terms) can ONLY be factored if both terms have a common factor, OR you have a difference of squares. No other cases are possible, since the product of two binomials is, in general, a trinomial (three terms). Since none of these special cases apply, the expression can't be factored.

"(x - 5)(x - 2)"
(2x + 1)(5x - 6)
If you mean: x squared -7x +12 then it is (x-3)(x-4) when factored
x2 - 7x = 8 x2 - 7x - 8 = 0Now find two numbers that multiply to equal -8, and add to equal -7.(1) * (-8) = -8(1) + (-8) = -7(x+1)(x-8) = 0 This is the factored form of x2 - 7x = 8You can then solve the equation if necessary, and get:x = -1 or x = +8
14x2 + 15x + 4 = (7x + 4)(2x +1)
