Simplifying
(x + -7)(x + -2) = 5

Reorder the terms:
(-7 + x)(x + -2) = 5

Reorder the terms:
(-7 + x)(-2 + x) = 5

Multiply (-7 + x) * (-2 + x)
(-7(-2 + x) + x(-2 + x)) = 5
((-2 * -7 + x * -7) + x(-2 + x)) = 5
((14 + -7x) + x(-2 + x)) = 5
(14 + -7x + (-2 * x + x * x)) = 5
(14 + -7x + (-2x + x2)) = 5

Combine like terms: -7x + -2x = -9x
(14 + -9x + x2) = 5

Solving
14 + -9x + x2 = 5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
14 + -5 + -9x + x2 = 5 + -5

9 + -9x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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