I love how you multiply it out and then factorise it again.

Here is the easy way.

(x - 5)² = 9

Square root both sides.

x - 5 = 3 or -3

Add 5 to both sides.

x = 8 or 2

Darn - beat me to it.
I apologise, in advance.

I now see why the plankton-muncher so worships us cartoonists. I've never seen so much boring twaddle in all my days. Lighten up, Mince!

Why all the algebra? I did it in my nut in about 30 seconds by working backwards.

There are 2 trees in a garden (tree "A" and "B") and on the both trees are some birds.

The birds of tree A say to the birds of tree B that if one of you comes to our tree, then our population will be the double of yours.

Then the birds of tree B tell to the birds of tree A that if one of you comes here, then our population will be equal to that of yours.

Now answer: How many birds in each tree?

As they apparently have the power of speech, I'm assuming they're some kind of parrot.
