I apologize for the confusion. Let's try solving the equation again using the correct method.

The equation is:
49x^2 = -392x - 784

Step 1: Write the equation in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0:
49x^2 + 392x + 784 = 0

Step 2: Divide the equation by the leading coefficient 49:
x^2 + 8x + 16 = 0

Step 3: Recognize that the equation can be factored as a perfect square trinomial:
(x + 4)^2 = 0

Step 4: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:
x + 4 = 0
x = -4

The solution to the quadratic equation is x = -4.
