(x-8)(x+9)=

Solution for (x-8)(x+9)= equation:

Simplifying
(x + -8)(x + 9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + x)(x + 9) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-8 + x)(9 + x) = 0

Multiply (-8 + x) * (9 + x)
(-8(9 + x) + x(9 + x)) = 0
((9 * -8 + x * -8) + x(9 + x)) = 0
((-72 + -8x) + x(9 + x)) = 0
(-72 + -8x + (9 * x + x * x)) = 0
(-72 + -8x + (9x + x2)) = 0
