    The fully factored form is (m - 7) (m + 2)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In order to factor the equation (or any quadratic equation with a first coefficient of 1), you need to look for factors of the last number (-14) that add up to the middle number (-5). So, start by listing the factors of - 14.

    1, - 14

    -1, 14

    2, - 7

    -2, 7

    The two numbers that add up to - 5 are 2 and - 7. We now use these in parenthesis with the variable.

    (m - 7) (m + 2)
