184 = ((-28 + -7x) + 2x * (4 + x))
184 = (-28 + -7x + (4 * 2x + x * 2x))
184 = (-28 + -7x + (8x + 2x2))

Combine like terms: -7x + 8x = 1x
184 = (-28 + 1x + 2x2)

Solving
184 = -28 + 1x + 2x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 184 + 28 = 212
212 + -1x + -2x2 = -28 + 1x + 2x2 + 28 + -1x + -2x2

Reorder the terms:
212 + -1x + -2x2 = -28 + 28 + 1x + -1x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0
212 + -1x + -2x2 = 0 + 1x + -1x + 2x2 + -2x2
212 + -1x + -2x2 = 1x + -1x + 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 1x + -1x = 0
212 + -1x + -2x2 = 0 + 2x2 + -2x2
212 + -1x + -2x2 = 2x2 + -2x2

Combine like terms: 2x2 + -2x2 = 0
212 + -1x + -2x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-106 + 0.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '106' to each side of the equation.
-106 + 0.5x + 106 + x2 = 0 + 106

Reorder the terms:
-106 + 106 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 106

Combine like terms: -106 + 106 = 0
0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 106
0.5x + x2 = 0 + 106

Combine like terms: 0 + 106 = 106
0.5x + x2 = 106

The x term is 0.5x.  Take half its coefficient (0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 106 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 106 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 106 + 0.0625 = 106.0625
0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 106.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 106.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 10.298664962
