Factor completely: 2a2 + a − 28

i believe the answer is (2a-7)(a+4) but just checking my work. Need to raise my grade badly.

Well, let's check your work. Using FOIL (FIRST OUTSIDE INSIDE LAST) expand your answer. (2a-7)(a+4) 2a(a) + 2a(4) + (-7)(a) + (-7)(4) 2a^2 + 8a -7a - 28 Combine like terms 2a^2 + a -28 which is the original equation, good job @flowmaster1776
