x(x + 1) = 60

Reorder the terms:
x(1 + x) = 60
(1 * x + x * x) = 60
(1x + x2) = 60

Solving
1x + x2 = 60

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-60 + 1x + x2 = 60 + -60

Combine like terms: 60 + -60 = 0
-60 + 1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '60' to each side of the equation.
-60 + 1x + 60 + x2 = 0 + 60

Reorder the terms:
-60 + 60 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 60

Combine like terms: -60 + 60 = 0
0 + 1x + x2 = 0 + 60
1x + x2 = 0 + 60

Combine like terms: 0 + 60 = 60
1x + x2 = 60

The x term is 1x.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
x + 0.25 + x2 = 60 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x + x2 = 60 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 60 + 0.25 = 60.25
0.25 + x + x2 = 60.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 60.25
