<h3>Answer:  x = -2 or x = 7  (choice D)</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

x^2 - 5x = 14

x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0

(x-7)(x+2) = 0 .... this step is further explained below

x-7 = 0 or x+2 = 0

x = 7 or x = -2

The order of the solutions does not matter.

-------------------------

To factor x^2-5x-14, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -14 and add to -5. This is done through trial and error. I recommend making a table to help organize everything. See the diagram below.

After a bit of guess work, you should find that -7 and 2 are the two values we're after

-7 + 2 = -5

-7 * 2 = -14

This is why x^2-5x-14 = (x-7)(x+2)
