Q. Solve for x x . Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newline(x+7)249=0 lesser x= greater x= \begin{array}{l} (x+7)^{2}-49=0 \\ \text { lesser } x=\square \\ \text { greater } x=\square \end{array}
  1. Identify equation to solve: Identify the equation to solve for xx.(x+7)249=0(x+7)^2 - 49 = 0
  2. Recognize difference of squares: Recognize that the equation is a difference of squares, which can be factored.(x+7)249=(x+7+7)(x+77)(x+7)^2 - 49 = (x+7 + 7)(x+7 - 7)
  3. Simplify factored form: Simplify the factored form. (x+7+7)(x+77)=(x+14)(x)(x+7 + 7)(x+7 - 7) = (x+14)(x)
  4. Set factors equal to zero: Set each factor equal to zero to find the solutions for xx.x+14=0x + 14 = 0 or x=0x = 0
  5. Solve for x: Solve for x in each equation.\newlinex+14=0x=14x + 14 = 0 \rightarrow x = -14\newlinex=0x=0x = 0 \rightarrow x = 0
  6. Identify lesser and greater values of x: Identify the lesser and greater values of x.\newlinelesser x = 14-14\newlinegreater x = 00
