Simplifying
(2x + 3)(x + 2) = 46

Reorder the terms:
(3 + 2x)(x + 2) = 46

Reorder the terms:
(3 + 2x)(2 + x) = 46

Multiply (3 + 2x) * (2 + x)
(3(2 + x) + 2x * (2 + x)) = 46
((2 * 3 + x * 3) + 2x * (2 + x)) = 46
((6 + 3x) + 2x * (2 + x)) = 46
(6 + 3x + (2 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 46
(6 + 3x + (4x + 2x2)) = 46

6 + -46 + 7x + 2x2 = 46 + -46

Combine like terms: 6 + -46 = -40
-40 + 7x + 2x2 = 46 + -46

Combine like terms: 46 + -46 = 0
-40 + 7x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-20 + 3.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '20' to each side of the equation.
-20 + 3.5x + 20 + x2 = 0 + 20

Reorder the terms:
-20 + 20 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0
0 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 20
3.5x + x2 = 0 + 20

Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20
3.5x + x2 = 20

The x term is 3.5x.  Take half its coefficient (1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
3.5x + 3.0625 + x2 = 20 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + 3.5x + x2 = 20 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 20 + 3.0625 = 23.0625
3.0625 + 3.5x + x2 = 23.0625
