What number would need  to replace the &nbsp;{{{highlight(question)}}} &nbsp;{{{highlight(mark)}}} &nbsp;"?"  &nbsp;{{{highlight(cross(Below))}}} &nbsp;<U>below</U> 
to make  a true statement  7p3 - 35p2 - 98p = 7p (p+2) (p -?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Take the common factor 7p out the parentheses and then factor the remaining quadratic polynomial in parentheses to get


    7p^3 - 35p^2 - 98p = 7p(p^2 - 5p - 14) = 7p*(p+2)*(p-7).


<U>ANSWER</U>.  Replace the question mark "?" by  "7".

Solved.
