Hi,
x^2=8x-5    ||  Set to zero and follow the same quadratic formula format from there
x^2 - 8x +5 = 0
{{{x = (-b +- sqrt( b^2-4*a*c ))/(2*a) }}} 
{{{x = (8 +- sqrt( 64-4*1*5 ))/2 }}}
 {{{x = (8 +- sqrt(44) )/2 }}} 
 {{{x = (8 +- sqrt(4*11) )/2 }}}
  {{{x = (8 +- 2sqrt(11) )/2 }}} 
  {{{x = 4 +- sqrt(11) }}}
