Answer:

x^2 + 5x - 14

Explanation:

We can assume that if there is 2 options for x, this is a quadratic equation that equals 0.

Therefore, we can put this into brackets as one bracket must equal 0.

(x - 2) (x + 7)

After this we expand, which is a process easier to search up

The answer is:

x^2 + 7x - 2x - 14

We can simplify this to:

x^2 + 5x - 14

x^2 represents x squared in case you were wondering

Therefore, the answer is:

x^2 + 5x - 14
