Simplifying
(2x + 5)(x + -3) = 20

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2x)(x + -3) = 20

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2x)(-3 + x) = 20

Multiply (5 + 2x) * (-3 + x)
(5(-3 + x) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 20
((-3 * 5 + x * 5) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 20
((-15 + 5x) + 2x * (-3 + x)) = 20
(-15 + 5x + (-3 * 2x + x * 2x)) = 20
(-15 + 5x + (-6x + 2x2)) = 20

Combine like terms: 5x + -6x = -1x
(-15 + -1x + 2x2) = 20

Solving
-15 + -1x + 2x2 = 20

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-15 + -20 + -1x + 2x2 = 20 + -20

Combine like terms: -15 + -20 = -35
-35 + -1x + 2x2 = 20 + -20

-35 + -1x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-17.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '17.5' to each side of the equation.
-17.5 + -0.5x + 17.5 + x2 = 0 + 17.5

Reorder the terms:
-17.5 + 17.5 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 17.5

Combine like terms: -17.5 + 17.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 17.5
-0.5x + x2 = 0 + 17.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 17.5 = 17.5
-0.5x + x2 = 17.5

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 = 17.5 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 17.5 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 17.5 + 0.0625 = 17.5625
0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 17.5625
