Solve by factoring: One of the solutions to the quadratic equation x2 + 3x - 28 is -7. What is the other solution? can someone please help with this question ?

thankyou!

OpenStudy (aripotta):

they said -7 was a solution, which means (x + 7) is one of the factors. 7 times what equals -28?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 x -4 =-28

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so (x + 7)(x - 4) x = -7 x = 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (aripotta):
