7 + 6x + 2x2 = -7 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
7 + 6x + 2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
3.5 + 3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation.
3.5 + 3x + -3.5 + x2 = 0 + -3.5

Reorder the terms:
3.5 + -3.5 + 3x + x2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + -3.5
3x + x2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.5 = -3.5
3x + x2 = -3.5

The x term is 3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.
