Simplifying
(x + 4)(x + -15) = 16x

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(x + -15) = 16x

Reorder the terms:
(4 + x)(-15 + x) = 16x

Multiply (4 + x) * (-15 + x)
(4(-15 + x) + x(-15 + x)) = 16x
((-15 * 4 + x * 4) + x(-15 + x)) = 16x
((-60 + 4x) + x(-15 + x)) = 16x
(-60 + 4x + (-15 * x + x * x)) = 16x
(-60 + 4x + (-15x + x2)) = 16x

Combine like terms: 4x + -15x = -11x
(-60 + -11x + x2) = 16x

-60 + -11x + -16x + x2 = 16x + -16x

Combine like terms: -11x + -16x = -27x
-60 + -27x + x2 = 16x + -16x

Combine like terms: 16x + -16x = 0
-60 + -27x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '60' to each side of the equation.
-60 + -27x + 60 + x2 = 0 + 60

Reorder the terms:
-60 + 60 + -27x + x2 = 0 + 60

Combine like terms: -60 + 60 = 0
0 + -27x + x2 = 0 + 60
-27x + x2 = 0 + 60
