Simplifying
(x + 4)(x + 3) = 18

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(x + 3) = 18

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(3 + x) = 18

Multiply (4 + x) * (3 + x)
(4(3 + x) + x(3 + x)) = 18
((3 * 4 + x * 4) + x(3 + x)) = 18
((12 + 4x) + x(3 + x)) = 18
(12 + 4x + (3 * x + x * x)) = 18
(12 + 4x + (3x + x2)) = 18

Combine like terms: 4x + 3x = 7x
(12 + 7x + x2) = 18

Solving
12 + 7x + x2 = 18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
12 + -18 + 7x + x2 = 18 + -18

-6 + 7x + x2 = 18 + -18

Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
-6 + 7x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 7x + 6 + x2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 6
7x + x2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
7x + x2 = 6

The x term is 7x.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
