Simplifying
(2x + -1)(2x + -1) = 18

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 2x)(2x + -1) = 18

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 2x)(-1 + 2x) = 18

Multiply (-1 + 2x) * (-1 + 2x)
(-1(-1 + 2x) + 2x * (-1 + 2x)) = 18
((-1 * -1 + 2x * -1) + 2x * (-1 + 2x)) = 18
((1 + -2x) + 2x * (-1 + 2x)) = 18
(1 + -2x + (-1 * 2x + 2x * 2x)) = 18
(1 + -2x + (-2x + 4x2)) = 18

Combine like terms: -2x + -2x = -4x
(1 + -4x + 4x2) = 18

Solving
1 + -4x + 4x2 = 18

Solving for variable 'x'.

-17 + -4x + 4x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-4.25 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.25' to each side of the equation.
-4.25 + -1x + 4.25 + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Reorder the terms:
-4.25 + 4.25 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Combine like terms: -4.25 + 4.25 = 0.00
0.00 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4.25
-1x + x2 = 0 + 4.25

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.25 = 4.25
-1x + x2 = 4.25

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 4.25 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4.25 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4.25 + 0.25 = 4.5
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4.5
