Раскроем скобки:
x2 - 14x - (56 + 7x - 7x - x2) = x2 - 14x - (56 - x2) = x2 - 14x - 56 + x2 = 2x2 - 14x - 56.
Подставим x = 17/7:
2(17/7)2 - 14(17/7) - 56 = 2(289/49) - 34 - 56 = 578/49 - 90 = (578 - 4410) / 49 = -3832 / 49 = -78.204...
Проверим решение:
x(x-14)-(7+x)(x-7) = x2 - 14x - (x2 - 49) = x2 - 14x - x2 + 49 = -14x + 49.
Подставим x = 17/7:
-14(17/7) + 49 = -2 * 17 + 49 = -34 + 49 = 15.
