Simplifying
(x + -1)(2x + -3) = 2x + -17

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(2x + -3) = 2x + -17

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(-3 + 2x) = 2x + -17

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-3 + 2x)
(-1(-3 + 2x) + x(-3 + 2x)) = 2x + -17
((-3 * -1 + 2x * -1) + x(-3 + 2x)) = 2x + -17
((3 + -2x) + x(-3 + 2x)) = 2x + -17
(3 + -2x + (-3 * x + 2x * x)) = 2x + -17
(3 + -2x + (-3x + 2x2)) = 2x + -17

20 + -7x + 2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
10 + -3.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -3.5x + -10 + x2 = 0 + -10

Reorder the terms:
10 + -10 + -3.5x + x2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -3.5x + x2 = 0 + -10
-3.5x + x2 = 0 + -10

Combine like terms: 0 + -10 = -10
-3.5x + x2 = -10

The x term is -3.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5x + 3.0625 + x2 = -10 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5x + x2 = -10 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: -10 + 3.0625 = -6.9375
3.0625 + -3.5x + x2 = -6.9375

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -1.75)(x + -1.75) = -6.9375

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
