Answer

The solutions are 0 and 7.

Work Step by Step

$x^{3}$-14$x^{2}$+49x=0 x($x^{2}$-14$x^{}$+49)=0 x($x^{2}$-7$x^{}$-7x+49)=0 x[x(x-7)-7(x-7)]=0 x(x-7)(x-7)=0 x=0 or x-7=0 or x-7=0 x=0 or x=7 or x=7 The solutions are 0 and 7. Check Let x=0 $x^{3}$-14$x^{2}$+49x=0 $0^{3}$-14*$0^{2}$+49*0=0 0-0+0=0 0=0 Let x=7 $x^{3}$-14$x^{2}$+49x=0 $7^{3}$-14*$7^{2}$+49*7=0 343-14*49+343=0 343-686+343=0 686-686=0 0=0
