Simplifying
4x + -3 = x(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 4x = x(x + -1)

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 4x = x(-1 + x)
-3 + 4x = (-1 * x + x * x)
-3 + 4x = (-1x + x2)

Solving
-3 + 4x = -1x + x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 4x + x = 5x
-3 + 5x + -1x2 = -1x + x2 + x + -1x2

-3 + 5x + -1x2 = -1x + x + x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0
-3 + 5x + -1x2 = 0 + x2 + -1x2
-3 + 5x + -1x2 = x2 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0
-3 + 5x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
3 + -5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -5x + -3 + x2 = 0 + -3

Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + -5x + x2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -5x + x2 = 0 + -3
-5x + x2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-5x + x2 = -3

The x term is -5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5x + 6.25 + x2 = -3 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5x + x2 = -3 + 6.25

Combine like terms: -3 + 6.25 = 3.25
6.25 + -5x + x2 = 3.25
