Find the largest possible solution to:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14x%5E2%2B23x+=+-3\"$ Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14x%5E2%2B23x%2B3+=+0\"$ Solve by factoring.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287x%2B1%29%282x%2B3%29+=+0\"$ Apply the zero product principle.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B1+=+0\"$ and/or $\"2x%2B3+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x+=+-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-1%2F7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-3%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The two solutions are:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-1%2F7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-3%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The largest of these is $\"x+=+-1%2F7\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
