1x + x2 = -8 + 4x

Solving
1x + x2 = -8 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
8 + 1x + -4x + x2 = -8 + 4x + 8 + -4x

Combine like terms: 1x + -4x = -3x
8 + -3x + x2 = -8 + 4x + 8 + -4x

Reorder the terms:
8 + -3x + x2 = -8 + 8 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
8 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 4x + -4x
8 + -3x + x2 = 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
8 + -3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -3x + -8 + x2 = 0 + -8

Reorder the terms:
8 + -8 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + -8
-3x + x2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-3x + x2 = -8

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

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
-3x + 2.25 + x2 = -8 + 2.25
