(x-3)(x-8)=

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

Simplifying
(x + -3)(x + -8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(x + -8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(-8 + x) = 0

Multiply (-3 + x) * (-8 + x)
(-3(-8 + x) + x(-8 + x)) = 0
((-8 * -3 + x * -3) + x(-8 + x)) = 0
((24 + -3x) + x(-8 + x)) = 0
(24 + -3x + (-8 * x + x * x)) = 0
(24 + -3x + (-8x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -3x + -8x = -11x
(24 + -11x + x2) = 0

Solving
24 + -11x + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.
