if you do -5 x -7 like with positive numbers 5 x 7 equals 35 then with negative numbers the answer is -35 and then add 14 to it and the answer would be 21

(x^2 + 9x +14) / (x+5) Factor (x^2 + 9x +14) [(x+7)(x+2)]/[(x+5)], x cannot equal -5
x + 2x + 5 = x +19 3x + 5 = x +19 3x - x = 19 - 5 2x = 14 x = 7
7*x - 5 + 14 = 77*x + 9 = 77*x = -2x = -2/7x equals minus two sevenths
X^2 + 5X - 14 by inspection what two factors of - 14 add up to 5 ? (X + 7)(X - 2) X = - 7 X = 2
No. 5+9=14. 7+9=16, therefore x=7.
