48 + -2x + -1x + -1x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: -2x + -1x = -3x
48 + -3x + -1x2 = x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
48 + -3x + -1x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1'.
-48 + 3x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '48' to each side of the equation.
-48 + 3x + 48 + x2 = 0 + 48

Reorder the terms:
-48 + 48 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 48

Combine like terms: -48 + 48 = 0
