Explanation:
First factor out the GCF 7
7x^2 + 7x - 42
7*x^2 + 7*x + 7*(-6)
7(x^2 + x - 6)
Now focus on factoring x^2+x-6
We need to find two numbers that multiply to -6 and add to 1. Those values are 3 and -2. That means x^2+x-6 factors to (x+3)(x-2).
The 7(x^2 + x - 6) then turns into 7(x+3)(x-2)
The factor out front, the "7", is the integer factor. The other factors (x+3) and (x-2) are binomial factors.
