(x + 2)(x + 1) = 40

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + 1) = 40

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(1 + x) = 40

Multiply (2 + x) * (1 + x)
(2(1 + x) + x(1 + x)) = 40
((1 * 2 + x * 2) + x(1 + x)) = 40
((2 + 2x) + x(1 + x)) = 40
(2 + 2x + (1 * x + x * x)) = 40
(2 + 2x + (1x + x2)) = 40

Combine like terms: 2x + 1x = 3x
(2 + 3x + x2) = 40

Solving
2 + 3x + x2 = 40

Solving for variable 'x'.

-38 + 3x + x2 = 40 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0
-38 + 3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '38' to each side of the equation.
-38 + 3x + 38 + x2 = 0 + 38

Reorder the terms:
-38 + 38 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 38

Combine like terms: -38 + 38 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 38
3x + x2 = 0 + 38

Combine like terms: 0 + 38 = 38
3x + x2 = 38

The x term is 3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
