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

Solution for (x+6)(x-8)=0 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 = -2x
(-48 + -2x + x2) = 0

Solving
-48 + -2x + x2 = 0
