(x-5)(x+13)=0

Solution for (x-5)(x+13)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(x + -5)(x + 13) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + x)(x + 13) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + x)(13 + x) = 0

Multiply (-5 + x) * (13 + x)
(-5(13 + x) + x(13 + x)) = 0
((13 * -5 + x * -5) + x(13 + x)) = 0
((-65 + -5x) + x(13 + x)) = 0
(-65 + -5x + (13 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-65 + -5x + (13x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -5x + 13x = 8x
(-65 + 8x + x2) = 0

Solving
-65 + 8x + x2 = 0
