<PRE><B>Question 142349</B>
(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
