Simplifying
120 = (4x + 1)(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
120 = (1 + 4x)(x + 1)

Reorder the terms:
120 = (1 + 4x)(1 + x)

Multiply (1 + 4x) * (1 + x)
120 = (1(1 + x) + 4x * (1 + x))
120 = ((1 * 1 + x * 1) + 4x * (1 + x))
120 = ((1 + 1x) + 4x * (1 + x))
120 = (1 + 1x + (1 * 4x + x * 4x))
120 = (1 + 1x + (4x + 4x2))

Combine like terms: 1x + 4x = 5x
120 = (1 + 5x + 4x2)

Solving
120 = 1 + 5x + 4x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 120 + -1 = 119
119 + -5x + -4x2 = 1 + 5x + 4x2 + -1 + -5x + -4x2

Reorder the terms:
119 + -5x + -4x2 = 1 + -1 + 5x + -5x + 4x2 + -4x2

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
119 + -5x + -4x2 = 0 + 5x + -5x + 4x2 + -4x2
119 + -5x + -4x2 = 5x + -5x + 4x2 + -4x2

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
119 + -5x + -4x2 = 0 + 4x2 + -4x2
119 + -5x + -4x2 = 4x2 + -4x2

Combine like terms: 4x2 + -4x2 = 0
119 + -5x + -4x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-4 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-4'.
-29.75 + 1.25x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '29.75' to each side of the equation.
-29.75 + 1.25x + 29.75 + x2 = 0 + 29.75

Reorder the terms:
-29.75 + 29.75 + 1.25x + x2 = 0 + 29.75

Combine like terms: -29.75 + 29.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 1.25x + x2 = 0 + 29.75
1.25x + x2 = 0 + 29.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 29.75 = 29.75
1.25x + x2 = 29.75

The x term is 1.25x.  Take half its coefficient (0.625).
Square it (0.390625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.390625' to each side of the equation.
1.25x + 0.390625 + x2 = 29.75 + 0.390625

Reorder the terms:
0.390625 + 1.25x + x2 = 29.75 + 0.390625

Combine like terms: 29.75 + 0.390625 = 30.140625
0.390625 + 1.25x + x2 = 30.140625
