x2+8x−65=x−5

Move all the expressions to the left side of the equation.

x2+8x−65−x+5=0

Simplify x2+8x−65−x+5.

Subtract x from 8x.x2+7x−65+5=0

Add −65 and 5.x2+7x−60=0Subtract x from 8x.x2+7x−65+5=

Add −65 and 5.x2+7x−60=0

Factor x2+7x−60

using the AC method.

(x−5)(x+12)=0

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to

0, the entire expression will be equal to 0.x−5=0x+12=0

Set the first factor equal to

0

and solve.

x=5

Set the next factor equal to

0

and solve.

x=−12

The final solution is all the values that make

(x−5)(x+12)=0 true.x=5,−12
