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

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

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

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

Combine like terms: 4x + 3x = 7x
(6 + 7x + 2x2) = 46

Solving
6 + 7x + 2x2 = 46

Solving for variable 'x'.

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
