Simplifying
(15 + -2x)(x + 7) = 38

Reorder the terms:
(15 + -2x)(7 + x) = 38

Multiply (15 + -2x) * (7 + x)
(15(7 + x) + -2x * (7 + x)) = 38
((7 * 15 + x * 15) + -2x * (7 + x)) = 38
((105 + 15x) + -2x * (7 + x)) = 38
(105 + 15x + (7 * -2x + x * -2x)) = 38
(105 + 15x + (-14x + -2x2)) = 38

Combine like terms: 15x + -14x = 1x
(105 + 1x + -2x2) = 38

Solving
105 + 1x + -2x2 = 38

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
105 + -38 + 1x + -2x2 = 38 + -38

Combine like terms: 105 + -38 = 67
67 + 1x + -2x2 = 38 + -38

67 + 1x + -2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-33.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '33.5' to each side of the equation.
-33.5 + -0.5x + 33.5 + x2 = 0 + 33.5

Reorder the terms:
-33.5 + 33.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 33.5

Combine like terms: -33.5 + 33.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 33.5
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 33.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 33.5 = 33.5
-0.5x + x2 = 33.5

The x term is -0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 33.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 33.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 33.5 + 0.0625 = 33.5625
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 33.5625
