You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am having troubling factoring 3z^2+13z+14
I have tried
(3z-1)(z-14)
(3z+1)(3z+14) and I can't get the right answer!
-------------
3z^2+13z+14 has no negative, so all terms are +
----
(3z+1)(3z+14) won't work, it gives 9z^2
-----------
Both of your attempts used 1*14 for 14
Try using 14 = 2*7
