7u%5E2+-uz+-2z+%2B14u Start with the given expression


%287u%5E2+-uz%29%2B%28-2z+%2B14u%29 Group up the terms into two pairs.


u%287u-z%29%2B%28-2z+%2B14u%29 Factor out the GCF of the first group 'u'


u%287u-z%29%2B%2814u-2z%29 Rearrange the terms in the second group.


u%287u-z%29%2B2%287u-z%29 Factor out the GCF of the first group 2


%28u%2B2%29%287u-z%29 Factor out the GCF 7u-z


So 7u%5E2+-uz+-2z+%2B14u=%28u%2B2%29%287u-z%29
