Let's first simplify both sides of the equation:
2(x+4) - x(x-5) = 7(x-8)
Expanding the left side:2x + 8 - x^2 + 5x = 7x - 56
Combine like terms:2x + 8 - x^2 + 5x = 7x - 567x + 8 - x^2 = 7x - 56
Now, move all terms to one side of the equation:7x + 8 - x^2 - 7x + 56 = 0-x^2 + 64 = 0
Now, we need to solve for x:-x^2 + 64 = 0-x^2 = -64x^2 = 64x = ± 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 8 or x = -8.
