-8x + 2x2 = (1 * 3 + x * 3)
-8x + 2x2 = (3 + 3x)

Solving
-8x + 2x2 = 3 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -8x + -3x + 2x2 = 3 + 3x + -3 + -3x

Combine like terms: -8x + -3x = -11x
-3 + -11x + 2x2 = 3 + 3x + -3 + -3x

Reorder the terms:
-3 + -11x + 2x2 = 3 + -3 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
-3 + -11x + 2x2 = 0 + 3x + -3x
-3 + -11x + 2x2 = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-3 + -11x + 2x2 = 0

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-1.5 + -5.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -5.5x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -5.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -5.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5
-5.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-5.5x + x2 = 1.5

The x term is -5.5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.75).
Square it (7.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '7.5625' to each side of the equation.
-5.5x + 7.5625 + x2 = 1.5 + 7.5625

Reorder the terms:
7.5625 + -5.5x + x2 = 1.5 + 7.5625

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 7.5625 = 9.0625
7.5625 + -5.5x + x2 = 9.0625
