Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x^2 - 14x + 49 = 0[/tex]
Factor the left hand side of the equation
product is 49 and sum is -14
-7 times -7 is 49
-7 plus -7 is -14
so two factors are -7 and -7
[tex]x^2 - 14x + 49 = 0[/tex]
[tex](x-7)(x-7)= 0[/tex]
Now we apply zero factor property
SEt each factor =0 and solve for x
x-7 =0 , x=7
