(x+8)(x-8)=

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

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

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

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

Multiply (8 + x) * (-8 + x)
(8(-8 + x) + x(-8 + x)) = 0
((-8 * 8 + x * 8) + x(-8 + x)) = 0
((-64 + 8x) + x(-8 + x)) = 0
(-64 + 8x + (-8 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-64 + 8x + (-8x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
(-64 + 0 + x2) = 0
(-64 + x2) = 0

Solving
-64 + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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