(9+x)(6+x)=88

Solution for (9+x)(6+x)=88 equation:

Simplifying
(9 + x)(6 + x) = 88

Multiply (9 + x) * (6 + x)
(9(6 + x) + x(6 + x)) = 88
((6 * 9 + x * 9) + x(6 + x)) = 88
((54 + 9x) + x(6 + x)) = 88
(54 + 9x + (6 * x + x * x)) = 88
(54 + 9x + (6x + x2)) = 88

Combine like terms: 9x + 6x = 15x
(54 + 15x + x2) = 88

Solving
54 + 15x + x2 = 88

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
54 + -88 + 15x + x2 = 88 + -88

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -2
-1x = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-1x = -2

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 2

Simplifying
x = 2
Solution
x = {-17, 2}
