#y=4x^2+18x+14#

Explanation:

Write as #y=color(blue)((2x+7))color(brown)((2x+2))#

Multiply everything in the right hand side brackets by everything in the left. Note that the + in +7 follows the 7.

#y=color(brown)(color(blue)(2x)(2x+2)" "color(blue)(+7)(2x+2))#

#y=4x^2+4x" "+14x+14#

#y=4x^2+18x+14#
