Answer:

Option D. {–7, 7}

Explanation:

3n^2 = 147

First, divide both side 3

n^2 = 147/3

n^2 = 49

Next, rearrange the variables to one side of the equation as shown below:

n^2 — 49 = 0

n^2 — 7^2 = 0

The above is now difference of two squares. This can be solve by doing the following:

(n — 7)(n + 7) = 0

n — 7 = 0 or n + 7 = 0

n = 7 or n = —7
