x^2-7x-8=-3x+5

Solution for x^2-7x-8=-3x+5 equation:

x^2-7x-8=-3x+5

We move all terms to the left:

x^2-7x-8-(-3x+5)=0

We get rid of parentheses

x^2-7x+3x-5-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

x^2-4x-13=0

a = 1; b = -4; c = -13;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·1·(-13)
Δ = 68
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{68}=\sqrt{4*17}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{17}=2\sqrt{17}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-2\sqrt{17}}{2*1}=\frac{4-2\sqrt{17}}{2}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+2\sqrt{17}}{2*1}=\frac{4+2\sqrt{17}}{2}
