Answer: x=-3, x=-2/7

Explanation:

think of factors of 6 that multiply to 6 and (when multiplied by 7) add up to 23. the only factors that work are 2 and 3.

factored: (7x+2)(x+3) = 0

when expanding: 7x^2+2x+21x+6 -> 7x^2+23x+6 WORKS

next: make each parentheses equation equal to 0

7x+2 = 0

7x=-2

x=-2/7 ANSWER

x+3=0

x=-3 ANSWER
