(r-8)(r+3)=

Solution for (r-8)(r+3)= equation:

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

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

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

Multiply (-8 + r) * (3 + r)
(-8(3 + r) + r(3 + r)) = 0
((3 * -8 + r * -8) + r(3 + r)) = 0
((-24 + -8r) + r(3 + r)) = 0
(-24 + -8r + (3 * r + r * r)) = 0
(-24 + -8r + (3r + r2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -8r + 3r = -5r
(-24 + -5r + r2) = 0

Solving
-24 + -5r + r2 = 0

Solving for variable 'r'.

Factor a trinomial.

Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + -1r = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -1r = 0 + -8
-1r = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-1r = -8

Divide each side by '-1'.
r = 8

Simplifying
r = 8
Solution
r = {-3, 8}
