Simplifying
(x + 2)(x + 3) = 208

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(x + 3) = 208

Reorder the terms:
(2 + x)(3 + x) = 208

Multiply (2 + x) * (3 + x)
(2(3 + x) + x(3 + x)) = 208
((3 * 2 + x * 2) + x(3 + x)) = 208
((6 + 2x) + x(3 + x)) = 208
(6 + 2x + (3 * x + x * x)) = 208
(6 + 2x + (3x + x2)) = 208

Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x
(6 + 5x + x2) = 208

Solving
6 + 5x + x2 = 208

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
6 + -208 + 5x + x2 = 208 + -208

Combine like terms: 6 + -208 = -202
-202 + 5x + x2 = 208 + -208

Combine like terms: 208 + -208 = 0
-202 + 5x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '202' to each side of the equation.
-202 + 5x + 202 + x2 = 0 + 202

Reorder the terms:
-202 + 202 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 202

Combine like terms: -202 + 202 = 0
0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 202
5x + x2 = 0 + 202

Combine like terms: 0 + 202 = 202
5x + x2 = 202

The x term is 5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.
