Solution for x=(x-3)(x-8) equation:


Simplifying
x = (x + -3)(x + -8)

Reorder the terms:
x = (-3 + x)(x + -8)

Reorder the terms:
x = (-3 + x)(-8 + x)

Multiply (-3 + x) * (-8 + x)
x = (-3(-8 + x) + x(-8 + x))
x = ((-8 * -3 + x * -3) + x(-8 + x))
x = ((24 + -3x) + x(-8 + x))
x = (24 + -3x + (-8 * x + x * x))
x = (24 + -3x + (-8x + x2))

Combine like terms: -3x + -8x = -11x
x = (24 + -11x + x2)

Solving
x = 24 + -11x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-24 + x + 11x + -1x2 = 24 + -11x + x2 + -24 + 11x + -1x2

Combine like terms: x + 11x = 12x
-24 + 12x + -1x2 = 24 + -11x + x2 + -24 + 11x + -1x2

Reorder the terms:
-24 + 12x + -1x2 = 24 + -24 + -11x + 11x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
-24 + 12x + -1x2 = 0 + -11x + 11x + x2 + -1x2
-24 + 12x + -1x2 = -11x + 11x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -11x + 11x = 0
-24 + 12x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
-24 + 12x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-24 + 12x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
24 + -12x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-24' to each side of the equation.
24 + -12x + -24 + x2 = 0 + -24

Reorder the terms:
24 + -24 + -12x + x2 = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
0 + -12x + x2 = 0 + -24
-12x + x2 = 0 + -24

Combine like terms: 0 + -24 = -24
-12x + x2 = -24

The x term is -12x.  Take half its coefficient (-6).
