Answer:

x = 7      x= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -5x -14 =0

What 2 numbers multiply to -14 and add to -5

-7*2 = -15

-7 +2 = -5

(x-7) (x+2) =0

Using the zero product property

x-7 =0   x+2 = 0

x = 7      x= -2

Answer:

Using the snowflake method, factors that multiply to give -14 and add to give -5 are: 2 and -7.

the factors are: (x+2)(x-7)
