rewrite the equation first
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8m^2+9m-14=0?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, now your factors are gonna look a lil different, they will have coefficients on them this time
(4x )(2x )
or
(8x )(x )
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it'll be 7 & 2, but I don't know which is negative.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I choose 4x & 2x

okay plug 7 and 2 and see if it works.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you're not wrong, 7 and 2 are the constants you'll be using but the 4x & 42 won't work, you have to use the 8x and x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-7 & 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this kind of problem is basically try all possible ways until u find the correct way.. ill save you the trouble the factors are
(8m-7)(m+2)=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That's what I have so far, now I have to subtract & stuff.

to find m now you have to set each factor equal to 0.
8m-7=0
m+2=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and solve for
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7/8 & -2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
