15 + -180 + 31x + 2x2 = 180 + -180

Combine like terms: 15 + -180 = -165
-165 + 31x + 2x2 = 180 + -180

Combine like terms: 180 + -180 = 0
-165 + 31x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-82.5 + 15.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '82.5' to each side of the equation.
-82.5 + 15.5x + 82.5 + x2 = 0 + 82.5

Reorder the terms:
-82.5 + 82.5 + 15.5x + x2 = 0 + 82.5

Combine like terms: -82.5 + 82.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 15.5x + x2 = 0 + 82.5
15.5x + x2 = 0 + 82.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 82.5 = 82.5
15.5x + x2 = 82.5

The x term is 15.5x.  Take half its coefficient (7.75).
