2x + x2 + (2 * -2 + x * -2) = x
2x + x2 + (-4 + -2x) = x

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 2x + -2x + x2 = x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
-4 + 0 + x2 = x
-4 + x2 = x

Solving
-4 + x2 = x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

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

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -1x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 4

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

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

The x term is -1x.  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.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.25 = 4.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 4.25
