Simplifying
(x + -3)(x + 2) = 5

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(x + 2) = 5

Reorder the terms:
(-3 + x)(2 + x) = 5

Multiply (-3 + x) * (2 + x)
(-3(2 + x) + x(2 + x)) = 5
((2 * -3 + x * -3) + x(2 + x)) = 5
((-6 + -3x) + x(2 + x)) = 5
(-6 + -3x + (2 * x + x * x)) = 5
(-6 + -3x + (2x + x2)) = 5

Combine like terms: -3x + 2x = -1x
(-6 + -1x + x2) = 5

Solving
-6 + -1x + x2 = 5

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-6 + -5 + -1x + x2 = 5 + -5

Combine like terms: -6 + -5 = -11
-11 + -1x + x2 = 5 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
-11 + -1x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '11' to each side of the equation.
-11 + -1x + 11 + x2 = 0 + 11

Reorder the terms:
-11 + 11 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 11

Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 11
-1x + x2 = 0 + 11

Combine like terms: 0 + 11 = 11
-1x + x2 = 11

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 11 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 11 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 11 + 0.25 = 11.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 11.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 11.25
