Answer 1

(x-blank)^2 because -14 is negative 

For (x-7)^2, we have -7 because it's -14/7. Next, 7^2=49, so we have to add 49 to the right, getting (x-7)^2+43=49. Subtract 43 from both sides to get
 (x-7)^2=6, and square root both sides to get x-7=sqrt(6) and add 7 to both sides to get x=sqrt(6)+7, which is approximately 9.45. I challenge you to do the next one on your own, using the techniques stated here :)
