Answer:

x=11 and x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is;

[tex](x-8)^2-13(x-8)+30=0[/tex]

Let u=(x-8)

[tex]u^2-13u+30=0[/tex]

Split the middle term;

[tex]u^2-10u-3u+30=0[/tex]

Factor by grouping

[tex]u(u-10)-3(u-10)=0[/tex]

[tex](u-10)(u-3)=0[/tex]

We have either u=10 or u=3

This implies that;

x-8=10 or x-8=3

x=10+8 or x=3+8

x=18 or x=11
