(x + 2)(x + 7) = 4

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + 7) = 4

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(7 + x) = 4

Multiply (2 + x) * (7 + x)
(2(7 + x) + x(7 + x)) = 4
((7 * 2 + x * 2) + x(7 + x)) = 4
((14 + 2x) + x(7 + x)) = 4
(14 + 2x + (7 * x + x * x)) = 4
(14 + 2x + (7x + x2)) = 4

Combine like terms: 2x + 7x = 9x
(14 + 9x + x2) = 4

Solving
14 + 9x + x2 = 4

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
10 + 9x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + 9x + -10 + x2 = 0 + -10

Reorder the terms:
10 + -10 + 9x + x2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 9x + x2 = 0 + -10
9x + x2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
9x + x2 = -10

The x term is 9x.  Take half its coefficient (4.5).
