Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.01 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.01'.
-500 + -40x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '500' to each side of the equation.
-500 + -40x + 500 + x2 = 0 + 500

Reorder the terms:
-500 + 500 + -40x + x2 = 0 + 500

Combine like terms: -500 + 500 = 0
0 + -40x + x2 = 0 + 500
-40x + x2 = 0 + 500

Combine like terms: 0 + 500 = 500
-40x + x2 = 500

The x term is -40x.  Take half its coefficient (-20).
Square it (400) and add it to both sides.

Add '400' to each side of the equation.
-40x + 400 + x2 = 500 + 400

Reorder the terms:
400 + -40x + x2 = 500 + 400

Combine like terms: 500 + 400 = 900
400 + -40x + x2 = 900

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -20)(x + -20) = 900

Calculate the square root of the right side: 30

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -20) equal to 30 and -30.

Subproblem 1

x + -20 = 30 Simplifying x + -20 = 30 Reorder the terms: -20 + x = 30 Solving -20 + x = 30 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '20' to each side of the equation. -20 + 20 + x = 30 + 20 Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0 0 + x = 30 + 20 x = 30 + 20 Combine like terms: 30 + 20 = 50 x = 50 Simplifying x = 50

Subproblem 2

x + -20 = -30 Simplifying x + -20 = -30 Reorder the terms: -20 + x = -30 Solving -20 + x = -30 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '20' to each side of the equation. -20 + 20 + x = -30 + 20 Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0 0 + x = -30 + 20 x = -30 + 20 Combine like terms: -30 + 20 = -10 x = -10 Simplifying x = -10

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {50, -10}
