Factor the left side of the equation.

18(x-8)(x+5)=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-8=0

x+5=0

Set x-8 equal to 0 and solve for x.

x=8

Set x+5 equal to 0 and solve for x.

x=-5

The final solution is all the values that make 18(x-8)(x+5)=0 true.

x=8,-5
