(x + 4)(x + 5) = 1

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(x + 5) = 1

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(5 + x) = 1

Multiply (4 + x) * (5 + x)
(4(5 + x) + x(5 + x)) = 1
((5 * 4 + x * 4) + x(5 + x)) = 1
((20 + 4x) + x(5 + x)) = 1
(20 + 4x + (5 * x + x * x)) = 1
(20 + 4x + (5x + x2)) = 1

Combine like terms: 4x + 5x = 9x
(20 + 9x + x2) = 1

Solving
20 + 9x + x2 = 1

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
20 + -1 + 9x + x2 = 1 + -1

Combine like terms: 20 + -1 = 19
19 + 9x + x2 = 1 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
19 + 9x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-19' to each side of the equation.
19 + 9x + -19 + x2 = 0 + -19

Reorder the terms:
19 + -19 + 9x + x2 = 0 + -19

Combine like terms: 19 + -19 = 0
0 + 9x + x2 = 0 + -19
9x + x2 = 0 + -19

Combine like terms: 0 + -19 = -19
9x + x2 = -19

The x term is 9x.  Take half its coefficient (4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
9x + 20.25 + x2 = -19 + 20.25
