(x-6)(x+8)=0

Solution for (x-6)(x+8)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(x + -6)(x + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + x)(x + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-6 + x)(8 + x) = 0

Multiply (-6 + x) * (8 + x)
(-6(8 + x) + x(8 + x)) = 0
((8 * -6 + x * -6) + x(8 + x)) = 0
((-48 + -6x) + x(8 + x)) = 0
(-48 + -6x + (8 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-48 + -6x + (8x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -6x + 8x = 2x
(-48 + 2x + x2) = 0

Solving
-48 + 2x + x2 = 0
