Solution for (x+8)(x-2)=169 equation:


Simplifying
(x + 8)(x + -2) = 169

Reorder the terms:
(8 + x)(x + -2) = 169

Reorder the terms:
(8 + x)(-2 + x) = 169

Multiply (8 + x) * (-2 + x)
(8(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 169
((-2 * 8 + x * 8) + x(-2 + x)) = 169
((-16 + 8x) + x(-2 + x)) = 169
(-16 + 8x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 169
(-16 + 8x + (-2x + x2)) = 169

Combine like terms: 8x + -2x = 6x
(-16 + 6x + x2) = 169

Solving
-16 + 6x + x2 = 169

Solving for variable 'x'.
