Answer

$1-2i$

Work Step by Step

Multiplying the denominator by $i$, the given expression, $ \dfrac{7i+14}{7i} ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{7i+14}{7i}\cdot\dfrac{i}{i} \\\\= \dfrac{7i(i)+14(i)}{7i(i)} \\\\= \dfrac{7i^2+14i}{7i^2} \\\\= \dfrac{7(-1)+14i}{7(-1)} \\\\= \dfrac{-7+14i}{-7} \\\\= \dfrac{-7(1-2i)}{-7} \\\\= \dfrac{\cancel{-7}(1-2i)}{\cancel{-7}} \\\\= 1-2i .\end{array}
