The first step is to quickly factor each of the five equations... to do so, find the right factors of the 3rd given number so that they add up in an equal number to the second number... 14 = -7 • -2 and -9 = -7 + -2

a^2 - 9a + 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a - 2)

a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a - 2 = 0, a = 2

{2,7}

a^2 + 9a + 14 = 0
(a + 7) (a + 2)

a + 7 = 0, a = -7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2

{-2, -7}

a^2 + 3a - 10 = 0
(a + 5) (a - 2)

a + 5 = 0, a = -5
a - 2 = 0, a = 2

{-5, 2}

a^2 - 5a - 14 = 0
(a - 7) (a + 2)
a - 7 = 0, a = 7
a + 2 = 0, a = -2

{-2, 7}

J= r + 9 because since jessica rode 9 more miles than roger, you add 9 miles to rogers mileage.
