Answer:
(x+7)(x+2)
Explanation:
x^2+2x+7x+14 (Because 7 and 2 add to give 9 and multiply to give 14)
x(x+2) +7(x+2) (Take out common factors, factorising)
(x+2)(x+7) (Put the things common in a bracket together and the bits that are outside in another bracket)
We have the equation:
.
The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7 and 14.
Now, all we have to do is find two numbers that add up to 9.
We see that 2 and 7 add up to 9.
Therefore,
Hope this helped! Have a great day!
