ANSWER ASAP!!

Answer 1

the answer should be B!

Answer 2

`\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { \: ( {x - 7})^(2) }}}}}}`

`\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}`

`{x}^(2) - 14x + 49`

`= {x}^(2) - 7x - 7x + 49`

Taking "
`x`" as common from first two terms and "7" from last two terms, we have

`= x \: ( \: x - 7 \: ) - 7 \: ( \: x - 7 \: )`

Taking the factor
`(x-7)` as common,

`= ( \: x - 7\:) \: (\: x - 7\: )`

`=( {x - 7})^(2)`

`\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Mystique35 }}{\orange{❦}}}}}`
