Simplifying
(2x + 4)(x + -4) = x

Reorder the terms:
(4 + 2x)(x + -4) = x

Reorder the terms:
(4 + 2x)(-4 + x) = x

Multiply (4 + 2x) * (-4 + x)
(4(-4 + x) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = x
((-4 * 4 + x * 4) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = x
((-16 + 4x) + 2x * (-4 + x)) = x
(-16 + 4x + (-4 * 2x + x * 2x)) = x
(-16 + 4x + (-8x + 2x2)) = x

Combine like terms: 4x + -8x = -4x
(-16 + -4x + 2x2) = x

Solving
-16 + -4x + 2x2 = x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-16 + -4x + -1x + 2x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: -4x + -1x = -5x
-16 + -5x + 2x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
-16 + -5x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-8 + -2.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + -2.5x + 8 + x2 = 0 + 8

Reorder the terms:
-8 + 8 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 8
-2.5x + x2 = 0 + 8

Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8
-2.5x + x2 = 8

The x term is -2.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
-2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = 8 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 8 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 8 + 1.5625 = 9.5625
1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 9.5625
