is it b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The mathematical equation of 3a^2 +a?14 solved for factoring results in the factors of (-7 + -3a)(2 + -1a).

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

close but not quite 3a^2 + a − 14 ^ ^ so should add to 1 and multiply to -14 (3a − 7)(a + 2) ^ ^ ^ -7*2= -14 but -7+(2)(3) does not equal 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, it should be a?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes :)
