Factor completely 9x2 + 9x -28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I use the decomposition method, where you multiply the coefficient of the first term (9) with the last term (-28) to get -252. Then try to look for 2 numbers that multiply to -252 and add up to get the middle term (9). If there aren't numbers that fit in with this rule, then it should be unfactorable.

There isn't an option to call it unfactorable and I couldn't find 2 numbers that add/multiply to them :/
