Try this:
14y+-+y%5E2+=+0 Factor a y.
y%2814+-+y%29+=+0, so...
y+=+0 or y+=+14

Besides 0, what is the other factor of 14y - y^2 = 0
------------
Comment: 0 is not a factor; it is a zero or root of the equation.
--------------------
14y - y^2 = 0
y(14-y)=0
The factors are y and 14-y
y = 0 or 14-y=0
y = 0 or y = 14
The zeroes are 0 and 14
