Simplifying
(2x + 1)(x + 4) = 6

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(x + 4) = 6

Reorder the terms:
(1 + 2x)(4 + x) = 6

Multiply (1 + 2x) * (4 + x)
(1(4 + x) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 6
((4 * 1 + x * 1) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 6
((4 + 1x) + 2x * (4 + x)) = 6
(4 + 1x + (4 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 6
(4 + 1x + (8x + 2x2)) = 6

Combine like terms: 1x + 8x = 9x
(4 + 9x + 2x2) = 6

-2 + 9x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-1 + 4.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 4.5x + 1 + x2 = 0 + 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 1 + 4.5x + x2 = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + 4.5x + x2 = 0 + 1
4.5x + x2 = 0 + 1
