2m%5E2+%2B+9m+%2B+7 need to find factors of the product of the constant and the leading coefficient that add up to make nine (the linear term)
2m%5E2+%2B+7m+%2B+2m+%2B+7 seven and two are the factors of fourteen we need
%282m%5E2+%2B+7m%29+%2B+%282m+%2B+7%29
m%282m+%2B+7%29+%2B+1%282m+%2B+7%29
%28m+%2B+1%29%282m+%2B+7%29
