Simplifying
(x + 4)(x + 4) = 5

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(x + 4) = 5

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(4 + x) = 5

Multiply (4 + x) * (4 + x)
(4(4 + x) + x(4 + x)) = 5
((4 * 4 + x * 4) + x(4 + x)) = 5
((16 + 4x) + x(4 + x)) = 5
(16 + 4x + (4 * x + x * x)) = 5
(16 + 4x + (4x + x2)) = 5

Combine like terms: 4x + 4x = 8x
(16 + 8x + x2) = 5

Solving
16 + 8x + x2 = 5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
16 + -5 + 8x + x2 = 5 + -5

Combine like terms: 16 + -5 = 11
11 + 8x + x2 = 5 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
11 + 8x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-11' to each side of the equation.
11 + 8x + -11 + x2 = 0 + -11

Reorder the terms:
11 + -11 + 8x + x2 = 0 + -11

Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
0 + 8x + x2 = 0 + -11
8x + x2 = 0 + -11
