Answer:
- 23/13
Explanation:
first, we do the FOIL multiplication (First, Outer, Inner, Last)
(2x+3)(x- 8)= 3+2(x- 5)(x + 5)
2x(x-8) + 3(x-8) = 3 + 2(x(x+5) - 5(x+5))
2x² - 16x + 3x - 24 = 3 + 2(x² + 5x - 5x -25)
2x² - 16x + 3x - 24 = 3 + 2(x² - 25)
2x² - 16x + 3x - 24 = 3 + 2x² - 50
2x² - 13x - 24 = 3 + 2x² - 50
after that move all component which have x to the left
2x² - 2x² - 13x = 3 - 50 + 24
-13x = 23
x = - 23/13
