Simplifying
(x + 5)(x + -4) = 14

Reorder the terms:
(5 + x)(x + -4) = 14

Reorder the terms:
(5 + x)(-4 + x) = 14

Multiply (5 + x) * (-4 + x)
(5(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x)) = 14
((-4 * 5 + x * 5) + x(-4 + x)) = 14
((-20 + 5x) + x(-4 + x)) = 14
(-20 + 5x + (-4 * x + x * x)) = 14
(-20 + 5x + (-4x + x2)) = 14

Combine like terms: 5x + -4x = 1x
(-20 + 1x + x2) = 14

Solving
-20 + 1x + x2 = 14

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-20 + -14 + 1x + x2 = 14 + -14

-34 + 1x + x2 = 14 + -14

Combine like terms: 14 + -14 = 0
-34 + 1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '34' to each side of the equation.
-34 + 1x + 34 + x2 = 0 + 34

Reorder the terms:
-34 + 34 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 34

Combine like terms: -34 + 34 = 0
0 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 34
1x + x2 = 0 + 34

Combine like terms: 0 + 34 = 34
1x + x2 = 34

The x term is 1x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
