Simplifying
(2x + 5)(x + -3) = 8

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2x)(x + -3) = 8

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2x)(-3 + x) = 8

Multiply (5 + 2x) * (-3 + x)
(5(-3 + x) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 8
((-3 * 5 + x * 5) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 8
((-15 + 5x) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 8
(-15 + 5x + (-3 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 8
(-15 + 5x + (-6x + 2x2)) = 8

Combine like terms: 5x + -6x = -1x
(-15 + -1x + 2x2) = 8

Solving
-15 + -1x + 2x2 = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-15 + -8 + -1x + 2x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: -15 + -8 = -23
-23 + -1x + 2x2 = 8 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
-23 + -1x + 2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-11.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '11.5' to each side of the equation.
-11.5 + -0.5x + 11.5 + x2 = 0 + 11.5

Reorder the terms:
-11.5 + 11.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 11.5

Combine like terms: -11.5 + 11.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 11.5
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 11.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 11.5 = 11.5
-0.5x + x2 = 11.5

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 11.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 11.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 11.5 + 0.0625 = 11.5625
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 11.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.25)(x + -0.25) = 11.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.400367627
