14x%5E2%2B+x+-+3=0
14x%5E2+%2B+7x-6x-3=0
%2814x%5E2+%2B+7x%29-%286x%2B3%29=0
7x%282x+%2B+1%29-3%282x%2B1%29=0
%287x+-+3%29+%282x+%2B+1%29=0
solutions:
%287x+-+3%29+=0=>7x=3=>x=3%2F7
%282x+%2B+1%29=0=>2x=-1=>x=-1%2F2

14x^2+ x - 3 
1) You have given a TRINOMIAL, not an equation

2) How is anyone supposed to know what factoring technique you need to use? Are we supposed to search the millions of books out there and come up with the correct text?

   What do you think would be the odds of us locating your book?

3) Are you that special that someone would take all the time in the world to help you?

4) You need to WAKE UP!!
