Fill in the Blank

A precision machinist is solving the equation 169x2=49{}169x^2 = 49 to determine the tool offset for a component. To solve this by factoring, the machinist first rewrites the equation in standard form as 169x2−49=0{}169x^2 - 49 = 0. The binomial 169x2−49{}169x^2 - 49 is then factored using a specific algebraic pattern known as the difference of ____.
