Answer: (m+7)(m+2)

Explanation:

So, let's find two numbers that can multiply together and equal 14.

To get fourteen here are the options:

1 * 14

2 * 7

Not many options, but let's see which ones would add to equal 9.

1 + 14 = 15

2 + 7 = 9

There's our answer, 2 and 7 multiply to get 14, and add to get 9.

To write it in factored form, we would write (m+7)(m+2)
