x2 - 14x = -49 ∴ x2 - 14x + 49 = 0 ∴ (x - 7)2 = 0 ∴ x = 7
x2-14x+49 (x-7)2 or (x-7)(x-7)
x=7
Yes because if x2-14x+49 then it is (x-7)(x-7) when factored
-x2+14x=49
x2 - 14x + 49(x - 7) (x - 7)

x2-14x+49 (x-7)2 or (x-7)(x-7)
x=7
Yes because if x2-14x+49 then it is (x-7)(x-7) when factored
(x - 7)(x - 7)
(x + 7)(x + 7)
49 x2 + 14x = -7 x2 + 14x + 49 = 42 (x + 7)2 = 42 x = -7 ± √42
49 squared is equal to 2,401.The question may be trying to ask: "What whole number equals 49 when it is squared ?"In that case, the answer is 7.
Notice that the left side of the equation is a perfect square (x - 7)2 = x2 -14x + 49. so (x - 7)2 = 4. Take square root of both sides: x - 7 = ± 2, x = 9, or x = 5.
