You asked:

Solve the equation \({x}^{2} + 8 x + 18 = {x}^{2} - 6 x + 8\) for the variable \(x\).

MathBot Answer:

The solution is: \[x = - \frac{5}{7} = -0.\overline{714285}\]


\[\begin{aligned}{x}^{2} + 8 x + 18 &= {x}^{2} - 6 x + 8\\x^{2} + 8 x + 18 &= x^{2} - 6 x + 8\\14 x &= -10\\x &= - \frac{5}{7}\end{aligned}\]
