Combine like terms: 13x + -3x = 10x
-7 + 10x + 2x2 = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-7 + 10x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-3.5 + 5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.5' to each side of the equation.
-3.5 + 5x + 3.5 + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Reorder the terms:
-3.5 + 3.5 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + 3.5
5x + x2 = 0 + 3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.5 = 3.5
5x + x2 = 3.5

The x term is 5x.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5x + 6.25 + x2 = 3.5 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 3.5 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 3.5 + 6.25 = 9.75
6.25 + 5x + x2 = 9.75
