Solving for variable 'x'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-65' to each side of the equation.
65 + 13x + -65 + x2 = 0 + -65

Reorder the terms:
65 + -65 + 13x + x2 = 0 + -65

Combine like terms: 65 + -65 = 0
0 + 13x + x2 = 0 + -65
13x + x2 = 0 + -65

Combine like terms: 0 + -65 = -65
13x + x2 = -65

The x term is 13x.  Take half its coefficient (6.5).
Square it (42.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '42.25' to each side of the equation.
13x + 42.25 + x2 = -65 + 42.25

Reorder the terms:
42.25 + 13x + x2 = -65 + 42.25

Combine like terms: -65 + 42.25 = -22.75
42.25 + 13x + x2 = -22.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 6.5)(x + 6.5) = -22.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
