(x-3)(x+3)=8x

Solution for (x-3)(x+3)=8x equation:

Simplifying
(x + -3)(x + 3) = 8x

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(x + 3) = 8x

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(3 + x) = 8x

Multiply (-3 + x) * (3 + x)
(-3(3 + x) + x(3 + x)) = 8x
((3 * -3 + x * -3) + x(3 + x)) = 8x
((-9 + -3x) + x(3 + x)) = 8x
(-9 + -3x + (3 * x + x * x)) = 8x
(-9 + -3x + (3x + x2)) = 8x

Combine like terms: -3x + 3x = 0
(-9 + 0 + x2) = 8x
(-9 + x2) = 8x

Solving
-9 + x2 = 8x
