(b+5)(b-3)=

Solution for (b+5)(b-3)= equation:

Simplifying
(b + 5)(b + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + b)(b + -3) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + b)(-3 + b) = 0

Multiply (5 + b) * (-3 + b)
(5(-3 + b) + b(-3 + b)) = 0
((-3 * 5 + b * 5) + b(-3 + b)) = 0
((-15 + 5b) + b(-3 + b)) = 0
(-15 + 5b + (-3 * b + b * b)) = 0
(-15 + 5b + (-3b + b2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 5b + -3b = 2b
(-15 + 2b + b2) = 0

Solving
-15 + 2b + b2 = 0

Solving for variable 'b'.
