Question 85029: Hi I was working on this all day trying to solve these
x^2+5x-14=0
and this one is even worse.
3x^2=22x-7
I have to use factoring ot solve each quadratic equation, and help would be appreciated. Thank you,Linda

ERROR Algebra::Solver::Engine::invoke_solver_noengine: solver not defined for name 'quadratic_factoring'.
Error occurred executing solver 'quadratic_factoring' .



So we now have

%28x-2%29%28x%2B7%29=0

Set each factor equal to zero

x-2=0 or x%2B7=0

Solve for x in each case

x=2 or x=-7

So we now have

%283x-1%29%28x-7%29=0

Set each factor equal to zero

3x-1=0 or x-7=0

Solve for x in each case

x=1%2F3 or x=7
