C=\frac{\left(x-10\right)\left(x+8\right)}{x-10}-\left(x-25\right)
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{x^{2}-2x-80}{x-10}.
C=x+8-\left(x-25\right)
Cancel out x-10 in both numerator and denominator.
C=x+8-x+25
To find the opposite of x-25, find the opposite of each term.
C=8+25
Combine x and -x to get 0.
C=33
Add 8 and 25 to get 33.
C\left(x-10\right)=x^{2}-2x-80-\left(x-25\right)\left(x-10\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 10 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-10.
Cx-10C=x^{2}-2x-80-\left(x-25\right)\left(x-10\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply C by x-10.
Cx-10C=x^{2}-2x-80+\left(-x+25\right)\left(x-10\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -1 by x-25.
Cx-10C=x^{2}-2x-80-x^{2}+35x-250
Use the distributive property to multiply -x+25 by x-10 and combine like terms.
Cx-10C=-2x-80+35x-250
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
Cx-10C=33x-80-250
Combine -2x and 35x to get 33x.
Cx-10C=33x-330
Subtract 250 from -80 to get -330.
Cx-10C-33x=-330
Subtract 33x from both sides.
Cx-33x=-330+10C
Add 10C to both sides.
\left(C-33\right)x=-330+10C
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(C-33\right)x=10C-330
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(C-33\right)x}{C-33}=\frac{10C-330}{C-33}
Divide both sides by C-33.
x=\frac{10C-330}{C-33}
Dividing by C-33 undoes the multiplication by C-33.
x=10
Divide -330+10C by C-33.
x\in \emptyset
Variable x cannot be equal to 10.
