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

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 18.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.272001873
