Fined two numbers such that,
they add up to 59
they multiply to -14*18

ganeshie8 · Answer

basically u need to pick ur numbers from the factors of 14*18 :

14*18 
7*2 * 2 * 9
4*63

ganeshie8 · Answer

so, 63 and -4 are the magic numbers.
fine sofar ?

ganeshie8 · Answer

once you have the numbers, 
rewrite the middle term using them :

18x^2+59x-14

18x^2 + 63x - 4x - 14
