First, expand the left side of the equation:

9(5x-8)^2 - 5 = 9(25x^2 - 80x + 64) - 5 = 225x^2 - 720x + 576 - 5 = 225x^2 - 720x + 571

Now, set the equation equal to -1:

225x^2 - 720x + 571 = -1

Simplify by adding 1 to both sides:

225x^2 - 720x + 572 = 0

Divide by 4 to simplify the equation:

56.25x^2 - 180x + 143 = 0

We can't simplify this equation any further without using decimals, so this is the simplest form of the equation.
