(3.5 + x)(x + 3.5) = 10.25

Reorder the terms:
(3.5 + x)(3.5 + x) = 10.25

Multiply (3.5 + x) * (3.5 + x)
(3.5(3.5 + x) + x(3.5 + x)) = 10.25
((3.5 * 3.5 + x * 3.5) + x(3.5 + x)) = 10.25
((12.25 + 3.5x) + x(3.5 + x)) = 10.25
(12.25 + 3.5x + (3.5 * x + x * x)) = 10.25
(12.25 + 3.5x + (3.5x + x2)) = 10.25

Combine like terms: 3.5x + 3.5x = 7x
(12.25 + 7x + x2) = 10.25

Solving
12.25 + 7x + x2 = 10.25

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + -10.25 + 7x + x2 = 10.25 + -10.25

Combine like terms: 12.25 + -10.25 = 2
2 + 7x + x2 = 10.25 + -10.25

Combine like terms: 10.25 + -10.25 = 0.00
2 + 7x + x2 = 0.00

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 7x + -2 + x2 = 0.00 + -2
