Add '140' to each side of the equation.
-140 + 4x + 140 + x2 = 0 + 140

Reorder the terms:
-140 + 140 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 140

Combine like terms: -140 + 140 = 0
0 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 140
4x + x2 = 0 + 140

Combine like terms: 0 + 140 = 140
4x + x2 = 140

The x term is 4x.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4x + 4 + x2 = 140 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4x + x2 = 140 + 4

Combine like terms: 140 + 4 = 144
4 + 4x + x2 = 144
