Simplifying
(x + 1)(x + 2) = 87

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(x + 2) = 87

Reorder the terms:
(1 + x)(2 + x) = 87

Multiply (1 + x) * (2 + x)
(1(2 + x) + x(2 + x)) = 87
((2 * 1 + x * 1) + x(2 + x)) = 87
((2 + 1x) + x(2 + x)) = 87
(2 + 1x + (2 * x + x * x)) = 87
(2 + 1x + (2x + x2)) = 87

Combine like terms: 1x + 2x = 3x
(2 + 3x + x2) = 87

Solving
2 + 3x + x2 = 87

Solving for variable 'x'.

-85 + 3x + x2 = 87 + -87

Combine like terms: 87 + -87 = 0
-85 + 3x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '85' to each side of the equation.
-85 + 3x + 85 + x2 = 0 + 85

Reorder the terms:
-85 + 85 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 85

Combine like terms: -85 + 85 = 0
0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 85
3x + x2 = 0 + 85

Combine like terms: 0 + 85 = 85
3x + x2 = 85

The x term is 3x.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
