Simplifying
(x + 5)(x + -2) = 2(x + -2) + -18

Reorder the terms:
(5 + x)(x + -2) = 2(x + -2) + -18

Reorder the terms:
(5 + x)(-2 + x) = 2(x + -2) + -18

Multiply (5 + x) * (-2 + x)
(5(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 2(x + -2) + -18
((-2 * 5 + x * 5) + x(-2 + x)) = 2(x + -2) + -18
((-10 + 5x) + x(-2 + x)) = 2(x + -2) + -18
(-10 + 5x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 2(x + -2) + -18
(-10 + 5x + (-2x + x2)) = 2(x + -2) + -18

Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x
(-10 + 3x + x2) = 2(x + -2) + -18

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 3x + x2 = 2(-2 + x) + -18
-10 + 3x + x2 = (-2 * 2 + x * 2) + -18
-10 + 3x + x2 = (-4 + 2x) + -18

-10 + 3x + x2 = -22 + 2x

Solving
-10 + 3x + x2 = -22 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-10 + 22 + 3x + -2x + x2 = -22 + 2x + 22 + -2x

Combine like terms: -10 + 22 = 12
12 + 3x + -2x + x2 = -22 + 2x + 22 + -2x

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x
12 + 1x + x2 = -22 + 2x + 22 + -2x

Reorder the terms:
12 + 1x + x2 = -22 + 22 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: -22 + 22 = 0
12 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 2x + -2x
12 + 1x + x2 = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
12 + 1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + 1x + -12 + x2 = 0 + -12

Reorder the terms:
12 + -12 + 1x + x2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 1x + x2 = 0 + -12
1x + x2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
1x + x2 = -12

The x term is 1x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
x + 0.25 + x2 = -12 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x + x2 = -12 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -12 + 0.25 = -11.75
0.25 + x + x2 = -11.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = -11.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
