(m+4)(m-5)=-8

Solution for (m+4)(m-5)=-8 equation:

Simplifying
(m + 4)(m + -5) = -8

Reorder the terms:
(4 + m)(m + -5) = -8

Reorder the terms:
(4 + m)(-5 + m) = -8

Multiply (4 + m) * (-5 + m)
(4(-5 + m) + m(-5 + m)) = -8
((-5 * 4 + m * 4) + m(-5 + m)) = -8
((-20 + 4m) + m(-5 + m)) = -8
(-20 + 4m + (-5 * m + m * m)) = -8
(-20 + 4m + (-5m + m2)) = -8

Combine like terms: 4m + -5m = -1m
(-20 + -1m + m2) = -8

Solving
-20 + -1m + m2 = -8

Solving for variable 'm'.

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 8 + -1m + m2 = -8 + 8

Combine like terms: -20 + 8 = -12
-12 + -1m + m2 = -8 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
-12 + -1m + m2 = 0
