(x + 3)(x + 5) = 26

Reorder the terms:
(3 + x)(x + 5) = 26

Reorder the terms:
(3 + x)(5 + x) = 26

Multiply (3 + x) * (5 + x)
(3(5 + x) + x(5 + x)) = 26
((5 * 3 + x * 3) + x(5 + x)) = 26
((15 + 3x) + x(5 + x)) = 26
(15 + 3x + (5 * x + x * x)) = 26
(15 + 3x + (5x + x2)) = 26

Combine like terms: 3x + 5x = 8x
(15 + 8x + x2) = 26

Solving
15 + 8x + x2 = 26

Solving for variable 'x'.
