(x+6)(x+8)=

Solution for (x+6)(x+8)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + 6)(x + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + x)(x + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(6 + x)(8 + x) = 0

Multiply (6 + x) * (8 + x)
(6(8 + x) + x(8 + x)) = 0
((8 * 6 + x * 6) + x(8 + x)) = 0
((48 + 6x) + x(8 + x)) = 0
(48 + 6x + (8 * x + x * x)) = 0
(48 + 6x + (8x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 6x + 8x = 14x
(48 + 14x + x2) = 0

Solving
48 + 14x + x2 = 0

0 + x = 0 + -8
x = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
x = -8

Simplifying
x = -8
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(6 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
6 + x = 0

Solving
6 + x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + x = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + x = 0 + -6
x = 0 + -6
