Answer 1

Answer:

$(x + 7) \times (2x - 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= 2x {}^{2} + 13x - 7$

Write 13x as a difference

$= 2x {}^{2} + 14x - x - 7$

Factor out 2x from the expression

$= 2x \times (x + 7) - x - 7$

Factor out negative sign from the expression

$= 2x \times (x + 7) - (x + 7)$

Factor out x + 7 from the expression

$= (x + 7) \times (2x - 1)$
