You can put this solution on YOUR website!
to start off, you need to get x by itself, so subtract 49 from both sides.
that will leave you with x²=-49
now you need to getx, rather than x², so square root both sides.
the square root of 49 is 7
but, since 49 is negative, you need an i (which is the equivalent of -1)
so x=7i

x%5E2+%2B+49+=+0
x%5E2+=+-49
x+=+sqrt%28-49%29+=+sqrt%28-1%29%2Asqrt%2849%29
x = ± 7i (i = sqrt(-1) )
