Simplifying
(5x + -1)(5x + -1) = 12

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5x)(5x + -1) = 12

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + 5x)(-1 + 5x) = 12

Multiply (-1 + 5x) * (-1 + 5x)
(-1(-1 + 5x) + 5x * (-1 + 5x)) = 12
((-1 * -1 + 5x * -1) + 5x * (-1 + 5x)) = 12
((1 + -5x) + 5x * (-1 + 5x)) = 12
(1 + -5x + (-1 * 5x + 5x * 5x)) = 12
(1 + -5x + (-5x + 25x2)) = 12

Combine like terms: -5x + -5x = -10x
(1 + -10x + 25x2) = 12

Solving
1 + -10x + 25x2 = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
1 + -12 + -10x + 25x2 = 12 + -12

Combine like terms: 1 + -12 = -11
-11 + -10x + 25x2 = 12 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
-11 + -10x + 25x2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
25 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.44 + -0.4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.44' to each side of the equation.
-0.44 + -0.4x + 0.44 + x2 = 0 + 0.44

Reorder the terms:
-0.44 + 0.44 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.44

Combine like terms: -0.44 + 0.44 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.44
-0.4x + x2 = 0 + 0.44

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.44 = 0.44
-0.4x + x2 = 0.44

The x term is -0.4x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 0.44 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 0.44 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.44 + 0.04 = 0.48
0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 0.48

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.2)(x + -0.2) = 0.48

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.692820323
