Simplifying
(x + 2)(x + -8) = 55

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + -8) = 55

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(-8 + x) = 55

Multiply (2 + x) * (-8 + x)
(2(-8 + x) + x(-8 + x)) = 55
((-8 * 2 + x * 2) + x(-8 + x)) = 55
((-16 + 2x) + x(-8 + x)) = 55
(-16 + 2x + (-8 * x + x * x)) = 55
(-16 + 2x + (-8x + x2)) = 55

Combine like terms: 2x + -8x = -6x
(-16 + -6x + x2) = 55

Solving
-16 + -6x + x2 = 55

Solving for variable 'x'.
