Simplifying
(x + 2)(x + 5) = 26

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + 5) = 26

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(5 + x) = 26

Multiply (2 + x) * (5 + x)
(2(5 + x) + x(5 + x)) = 26
((5 * 2 + x * 2) + x(5 + x)) = 26
((10 + 2x) + x(5 + x)) = 26
(10 + 2x + (5 * x + x * x)) = 26
(10 + 2x + (5x + x2)) = 26

Combine like terms: 2x + 5x = 7x
(10 + 7x + x2) = 26

Solving
10 + 7x + x2 = 26

Solving for variable 'x'.
