Simplifying
(x + -3)(x + 5) = 6

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(x + 5) = 6

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(5 + x) = 6

Multiply (-3 + x) * (5 + x)
(-3(5 + x) + x(5 + x)) = 6
((5 * -3 + x * -3) + x(5 + x)) = 6
((-15 + -3x) + x(5 + x)) = 6
(-15 + -3x + (5 * x + x * x)) = 6
(-15 + -3x + (5x + x2)) = 6

Combine like terms: -3x + 5x = 2x
(-15 + 2x + x2) = 6

Solving
-15 + 2x + x2 = 6

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-15 + -6 + 2x + x2 = 6 + -6

-21 + 2x + x2 = 6 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
-21 + 2x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '21' to each side of the equation.
-21 + 2x + 21 + x2 = 0 + 21

Reorder the terms:
-21 + 21 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 21

Combine like terms: -21 + 21 = 0
0 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 21
2x + x2 = 0 + 21

Combine like terms: 0 + 21 = 21
2x + x2 = 21

The x term is 2x.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.
