**Educational Content on Solving Logarithmic Equations**

**Problem Statement:**
Solve the following logarithmic equation. Be sure to reject any value of x that is not in the domain of the original logarithmic expression. Give the exact answer.

\[
\log_7 x = 2
\]

---

**Task 1: Rewrite the Given Equation Without Logarithms**

Do not solve for x.

(Do not simplify.)

**Task 2: Solve the Equation**

Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.

- **A.** The solution set is { ______ }. (Simplify your answer.)
- **B.** There are infinitely many solutions.
- **C.** There is no solution.

---

**Detailed Explanation:**

1. **Rewrite Without Logarithms:**
   - An equation in exponential form that is equivalent to \(\log_7 x = 2\) can be written as \(x = 7^2\).

2. **Solve for x:**
   - By evaluating \(7^2\), we get \(x = 49\).

3. **Solution Set:**
   - Replace the blank in option A with 49 to find the exact solution:
     - **A.** The solution set is {49}. (Simplify your answer.)
   
Thus, the answer is option A, and the solution set is {49}.
