$x^2-8x+16-16=65$
Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Solve the quadratic equation x^2-8x=65. Factor the polynomial x^2-8x. Add and subtract \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2, replacing b by it's value -8. Now, we can factor x^2+-8x+16 as a squared binomial of the form \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^2. We need to isolate the dependent variable x, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting -16 from both sides of the equation. Canceling terms on both sides.
