(b-7)(b+5)=0

Solution for (b-7)(b+5)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(b + -7)(b + 5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-7 + b)(b + 5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-7 + b)(5 + b) = 0

Multiply (-7 + b) * (5 + b)
(-7(5 + b) + b(5 + b)) = 0
((5 * -7 + b * -7) + b(5 + b)) = 0
((-35 + -7b) + b(5 + b)) = 0
(-35 + -7b + (5 * b + b * b)) = 0
(-35 + -7b + (5b + b2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -7b + 5b = -2b
(-35 + -2b + b2) = 0

Solving
-35 + -2b + b2 = 0

Solving for variable 'b'.
