Simplifying
f + f2 = 16

Solving
f + f2 = 16

Solving for variable 'f'.

Reorder the terms:
-16 + f + f2 = 16 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
-16 + f + f2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + f + 16 + f2 = 0 + 16

Reorder the terms:
-16 + 16 + f + f2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + f + f2 = 0 + 16
f + f2 = 0 + 16

Combine like terms: 0 + 16 = 16
f + f2 = 16

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

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
f + 0.25 + f2 = 16 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + f + f2 = 16 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 16 + 0.25 = 16.25
0.25 + f + f2 = 16.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(f + 0.5)(f + 0.5) = 16.25
