The equation can be rewritten as:

7x^(2) - 14x + 1x -2
Factor out a 7x from the first two terms:

7x(x - 2) + 1x - 2
Factor out a 1 from the last two terms:

7x(x-2) + 1(x-2)
Then we can rewrite this as the fully factored equation:

(7x+1)(x-2)
You can check that this answer is correct by multiplying them and distributing.
