Type the correct answer in the box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar. factor the polynomial. 14x^2y + 4x − 7xy − 2 = (2x − 1)( )

(2x -1)  (7xy+2)

Rewrite the equation as follows:

(14x^2y - 7xy)   +  (4x -2)

Factor 7xy from the first term and 2 from the second term:

7xy(2x -1 ) + 2 ( 2x -1)

Factor (2x-1) from each term to get

(2x -1) ( 7xy + 2)

You can multiply this out to verify the answer.

According to the property of proportions,

Product of means = Product of extremes

So, simply we did cross multiplication.
