Given:

The product of a particular number is 65.

Second value is given by the sum of 8 and the original number.

To find:

The unknown number.

Solution:

Let x be the unknown number.

Then, second number = x+8

The product of a particular number is 65.

x\times (x+8)=65

x^2+8x=65

x^2+8x-65=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2+13x-5x-65=0

x(x+13)-5(x+13)=0

(x-5)(x+13)=0

Using zero product property, we get

x-5=0 and x+13=0

x=5 and x=-13

So, the unknown number is either 5 or -13.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
