The equation you've provided is a quadratic equation in the standard form:

\[ x^2 - 14x + 49 = 0 \]

To solve this, we can factor the quadratic. Notice that:

\[ x^2 - 14x + 49 = (x - 7)^2 \]

So, the equation can be rewritten as:

\[ (x - 7)^2 = 0 \]

Now, we set the factor equal to zero:

\[ x - 7 = 0 \]

Solving for \(x\) gives:

\[ x = 7 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation \( x^2 - 14x + 49 = 0 \) is:

\[ x = 7 \]

This means that the quadratic has a double root at \(x = 7\).
