Simplifying
(x + 1)(x + 18) = 10

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(x + 18) = 10

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(18 + x) = 10

Multiply (1 + x) * (18 + x)
(1(18 + x) + x(18 + x)) = 10
((18 * 1 + x * 1) + x(18 + x)) = 10
((18 + 1x) + x(18 + x)) = 10
(18 + 1x + (18 * x + x * x)) = 10
(18 + 1x + (18x + x2)) = 10

Combine like terms: 1x + 18x = 19x
(18 + 19x + x2) = 10

Solving
18 + 19x + x2 = 10

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
