You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Factor the binomial:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B49\"$ Look for a common factor in each of the two terms. Since there is a factor of 7 in the first term, it would be convenient to see a factor of 7 in the second term. Well, 49 = 7*7, so...
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B7%2A7\"$ Now you can factor out a 7.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%28x%2B7%29\"$ ...and there it is.
\n" ); document.write( "Now to check the solution, you can apply the distributive property to your answer.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%28x%2B7%29+=+7%2Ax%2B7%2A7\"$ = $\"7x%2B49\"$ and this is the original expression. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
