Simplifying
(x + -4)(x + 5) = 7

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + x)(x + 5) = 7

Reorder the terms:
(-4 + x)(5 + x) = 7

Multiply (-4 + x) * (5 + x)
(-4(5 + x) + x(5 + x)) = 7
((5 * -4 + x * -4) + x(5 + x)) = 7
((-20 + -4x) + x(5 + x)) = 7
(-20 + -4x + (5 * x + x * x)) = 7
(-20 + -4x + (5x + x2)) = 7

Combine like terms: -4x + 5x = 1x
(-20 + 1x + x2) = 7

Solving
-20 + 1x + x2 = 7

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:

-27 + 1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '27' to each side of the equation.
-27 + 1x + 27 + x2 = 0 + 27

Reorder the terms:
-27 + 27 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 27

Combine like terms: -27 + 27 = 0
0 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 27
1x + x2 = 0 + 27

Combine like terms: 0 + 27 = 27
1x + x2 = 27

The x term is 1x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.
