If you are supposed to use the quadratic equation, you will need values for a, b, and c.

First, move the  49  to the left side by subtracting.

9x² = 49  then becomes 9x² - 49  =  0 

Since the problems is missing the x-term, create an x-term, writing it as 0x and place it between the  x²  term and the number.

Now you have 9x² + 0x - 49  = 0

In the quadratic formula,  a = 9    b = 0    c = -49
