(n-3)(n+8)=0

Solution for (n-3)(n+8)=0 equation:

Simplifying
(n + -3)(n + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + n)(n + 8) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + n)(8 + n) = 0

Multiply (-3 + n) * (8 + n)
(-3(8 + n) + n(8 + n)) = 0
((8 * -3 + n * -3) + n(8 + n)) = 0
((-24 + -3n) + n(8 + n)) = 0
(-24 + -3n + (8 * n + n * n)) = 0
(-24 + -3n + (8n + n2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -3n + 8n = 5n
(-24 + 5n + n2) = 0

Solving
-24 + 5n + n2 = 0

Solving for variable 'n'.
