0 + -8x + x2 = 0 + -20
-8x + x2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20
-8x + x2 = -20

The x term is -8x.  Take half its coefficient (-4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-8x + 16 + x2 = -20 + 16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -8x + x2 = -20 + 16

Combine like terms: -20 + 16 = -4
16 + -8x + x2 = -4

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -4)(x + -4) = -4
