Simplifying
(x + -8)(x + 7) = 56

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + x)(x + 7) = 56

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + x)(7 + x) = 56

Multiply (-8 + x) * (7 + x)
(-8(7 + x) + x(7 + x)) = 56
((7 * -8 + x * -8) + x(7 + x)) = 56
((-56 + -8x) + x(7 + x)) = 56
(-56 + -8x + (7 * x + x * x)) = 56
(-56 + -8x + (7x + x2)) = 56

Combine like terms: -8x + 7x = -1x
(-56 + -1x + x2) = 56

Solving
-56 + -1x + x2 = 56

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-56 + -56 + -1x + x2 = 56 + -56

Combine like terms: -56 + -56 = -112
-112 + -1x + x2 = 56 + -56

Combine like terms: 56 + -56 = 0
-112 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '112' to each side of the equation.
-112 + -1x + 112 + x2 = 0 + 112

Reorder the terms:
-112 + 112 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 112

Combine like terms: -112 + 112 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 112
-1x + x2 = 0 + 112

Combine like terms: 0 + 112 = 112
-1x + x2 = 112

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 112 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 112 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 112 + 0.25 = 112.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 112.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 112.25
