hi I am so confued in this algebra 2 class
we just satrted this lesson and I got the first problem which is:

x(squared)-5x-14=0

then when I went on to the next problem I had some trouble

x(squared)-2x-4=0

I messed up in this problem and for some reason then end answer was still in a fraction

please show me how to work this problem so that I can see where I went wrong
:confused:
