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)

Answer:


(x+7)(x+2)

Explanation:

We have the equation:


x^(2) +9x+14.

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,


x^2+9x+14=(x+7)(x+2)

Hope this helped! Have a great day!
