The equation can be rewritten as: [tex] 7x^{2} - 14x + 1x -2[/tex] Factor out a 7x from the first two terms: [tex]7x(x - 2) + 1x - 2[/tex] Factor out a 1 from the last two terms: [tex]7x(x-2) + 1(x-2)[/tex] Then we can rewrite this as the fully factored equation: [tex](7x+1)(x-2)[/tex] You can check that this answer is correct by multiplying them and distributing.
