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

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

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

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

Combine like terms: -1x + 2x = 1x
(-2 + 1x + x2) = 1

Solving
-2 + 1x + x2 = 1

Solving for variable 'x'.

-3 + 1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 1x + 3 + x2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 3
1x + x2 = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
1x + x2 = 3

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 = 3 + 0.25
