Answer:

+ 7 and - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 5x - 14

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)

The factors are + 7 and - 2 , since

7 × - 2 = - 14 and 7 - 2 = + 5 , then

x² + 5x - 14 = (x + 7)(x - 2) ← in factored form
