Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
-18 + x + x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '18' to each side of the equation.
-18 + x + 18 + x2 = 0 + 18

Reorder the terms:
-18 + 18 + x + x2 = 0 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0
0 + x + x2 = 0 + 18
x + x2 = 0 + 18

Combine like terms: 0 + 18 = 18
x + x2 = 18

The x term is x.  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.
x + 0.25 + x2 = 18 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + x + x2 = 18 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 18 + 0.25 = 18.25
0.25 + x + x2 = 18.25
