Simplifying
(x + -2)(x + 1) = 7

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(x + 1) = 7

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(1 + x) = 7

Multiply (-2 + x) * (1 + x)
(-2(1 + x) + x(1 + x)) = 7
((1 * -2 + x * -2) + x(1 + x)) = 7
((-2 + -2x) + x(1 + x)) = 7
(-2 + -2x + (1 * x + x * x)) = 7
(-2 + -2x + (1x + x2)) = 7

Combine like terms: -2x + 1x = -1x
(-2 + -1x + x2) = 7

Solving
-2 + -1x + x2 = 7

Solving for variable 'x'.

-9 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-9 + -1x + 9 + x2 = 0 + 9

Reorder the terms:
-9 + 9 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: -9 + 9 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 9
-1x + x2 = 0 + 9

Combine like terms: 0 + 9 = 9
-1x + x2 = 9

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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 9 + 0.25
