Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '0.2'.
18 + 9x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-18' to each side of the equation.
18 + 9x + -18 + x2 = 0 + -18

Reorder the terms:
18 + -18 + 9x + x2 = 0 + -18

Combine like terms: 18 + -18 = 0
0 + 9x + x2 = 0 + -18
9x + x2 = 0 + -18

Combine like terms: 0 + -18 = -18
9x + x2 = -18

The x term is 9x.  Take half its coefficient (4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
9x + 20.25 + x2 = -18 + 20.25

Reorder the terms:
20.25 + 9x + x2 = -18 + 20.25

Combine like terms: -18 + 20.25 = 2.25
20.25 + 9x + x2 = 2.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 4.5)(x + 4.5) = 2.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 4.5) equal to 1.5 and -1.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 4.5 = 1.5 Simplifying x + 4.5 = 1.5 Reorder the terms: 4.5 + x = 1.5 Solving 4.5 + x = 1.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4.5' to each side of the equation. 4.5 + -4.5 + x = 1.5 + -4.5 Combine like terms: 4.5 + -4.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.5 + -4.5 x = 1.5 + -4.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -4.5 = -3 x = -3 Simplifying x = -3

Subproblem 2

x + 4.5 = -1.5 Simplifying x + 4.5 = -1.5 Reorder the terms: 4.5 + x = -1.5 Solving 4.5 + x = -1.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4.5' to each side of the equation. 4.5 + -4.5 + x = -1.5 + -4.5 Combine like terms: 4.5 + -4.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.5 + -4.5 x = -1.5 + -4.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + -4.5 = -6 x = -6 Simplifying x = -6

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-3, -6}
