Thank you Ted Uzonyi Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x^2-14x+49)/(x-7) please show me a solution break down so i may help him understand
-------------
That is a factoring problem.
You son may recognize that the numerator factors as follows:
x^2-14x+49 = (x-7)(x-7)
------------
So your problem becomes:
[(x-7)(x-7)/(x-7)]
which reduces to
= x-7
