Question

Solve the equation by using factoring: x2 -14x + 49 =0
14
7
2
no solution

Answer 1

just factor?

Answer 2

\[x^2 -14x + 49 =0\]

Answer 3

this factors pretty nicely

Answer 4

what multiplies to +49 but adds up to -14?

Answer 5

\[-7 \times -7 = +49\]

\[-7 + - 7 = -14 \]

Answer 6

\[x^2 -14x + 49 =0\]

\[(x - 7) (x -7) = 0\]

\[(x-7)^2 \]

Now:
\[x-7 = 0 \]
SOLVE FOR X.

x - 7 = 0
+7 +7
------- -----

x + _____

Answer 7

Sorry, typo.

x = ____

not

x + ____

LOL sorry :)

Answer 8

7? @some_someone

Answer 9

it factors to (x-7)(x-7) = 0

so yes, x = 7

they're repeated roots

Answer 10

-7*-7 = 49

-7+(-7) = -14

Answer 11

? you lost me
