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

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

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

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

Combine like terms: -1x + -3x = -4x
(3 + -4x + x2) = 2(x + -2)

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

Solving
3 + -4x + x2 = -4 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
3 + 4 + -4x + -2x + x2 = -4 + 2x + 4 + -2x

Combine like terms: 3 + 4 = 7
7 + -4x + -2x + x2 = -4 + 2x + 4 + -2x

Combine like terms: -4x + -2x = -6x
7 + -6x + x2 = -4 + 2x + 4 + -2x

Reorder the terms:
7 + -6x + x2 = -4 + 4 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
7 + -6x + x2 = 0 + 2x + -2x
7 + -6x + x2 = 2x + -2x

7 + -6x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + -6x + -7 + x2 = 0 + -7

Reorder the terms:
7 + -7 + -6x + x2 = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + -6x + x2 = 0 + -7
-6x + x2 = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 0 + -7 = -7
-6x + x2 = -7

The x term is -6x.  Take half its coefficient (-3).
