(x-1)(x+1)=8

Solution for (x-1)(x+1)=8 equation:

Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + 1) = 8

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + 1) = 8

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(1 + x) = 8

Multiply (-1 + x) * (1 + x)
(-1(1 + x) + x(1 + x)) = 8
((1 * -1 + x * -1) + x(1 + x)) = 8
((-1 + -1x) + x(1 + x)) = 8
(-1 + -1x + (1 * x + x * x)) = 8
(-1 + -1x + (1x + x2)) = 8

Combine like terms: -1x + 1x = 0
(-1 + 0 + x2) = 8
(-1 + x2) = 8

Solving
-1 + x2 = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

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