Answer

{$-13,1$}

Work Step by Step

Factoring the equation and setting the factors equal to zero, we obtain: $t^{2}+12t+36=49$ $t^{2}+12t+36-49=0$ $t^{2}+12t-13=0$ $t^{2}-1t+13t-13=0$ $t(t-1)+13(t-1)=0$ $(t-1)(t+13)=0$ $(t-1)=0$ or $(t+13)=0$ $t=1$ or $t=-13$ Therefore, the solution set is {$-13,1$}.
