You didn't do anything wrong, you got it right. I think I can guess your confusion. It's easy to mess up when substituting the answer back into the original equation and get all the x, x^2, and other things squared mixed up.
x = +-3 or +-7
x = +-3
((+-3)^2 - 14)^2 =
(9 - 14)^2 =
(-5)^2 =
25
5(6(+-3)^2 - 49) =
5(6 * 9 - 49) =
5(54 - 49) =
5 * 5 =
25
+-7
((+-7)^2 - 14)^2 =
(49^2 - 14)^2 =
(2401 - 14)^2 =
2387^2 =

Oops wait that doesn't seem right. Just to show you the kind of mistakes I kept making.
