Step 2.1.1

Factor $49$ out of $147$ .

$t = \pm \sqrt{49 (3)}$

Step 2.1.2

Rewrite $49$ as $7^{2}$ .

$t = \pm \sqrt{7^{2} \cdot 3}$

Step 2.2

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$t = \pm 7 \sqrt{3}$

Step 3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

Step 3.1

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$t = 7 \sqrt{3}$

Step 3.2

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$t = - 7 \sqrt{3}$

Step 3.3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$t = 7 \sqrt{3}, - 7 \sqrt{3}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$t = 7 \sqrt{3}, - 7 \sqrt{3}$

Decimal Form:

$t = 12.12435565 \dots, - 12.12435565 \dots$
