Add '96' to each side of the equation.
-96 + 20x + 96 + x2 = 0 + 96

Reorder the terms:
-96 + 96 + 20x + x2 = 0 + 96

Combine like terms: -96 + 96 = 0
0 + 20x + x2 = 0 + 96
20x + x2 = 0 + 96

Combine like terms: 0 + 96 = 96
20x + x2 = 96

The x term is 20x.  Take half its coefficient (10).
Square it (100) and add it to both sides.

Add '100' to each side of the equation.
20x + 100 + x2 = 96 + 100

Reorder the terms:
100 + 20x + x2 = 96 + 100

Combine like terms: 96 + 100 = 196
100 + 20x + x2 = 196
