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'.
-100 + 15x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '100' to each side of the equation.
-100 + 15x + 100 + x2 = 0 + 100

Reorder the terms:
-100 + 100 + 15x + x2 = 0 + 100

Combine like terms: -100 + 100 = 0
0 + 15x + x2 = 0 + 100
15x + x2 = 0 + 100

Combine like terms: 0 + 100 = 100
15x + x2 = 100

The x term is 15x.  Take half its coefficient (7.5).
Square it (56.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '56.25' to each side of the equation.
15x + 56.25 + x2 = 100 + 56.25

Reorder the terms:
56.25 + 15x + x2 = 100 + 56.25

Combine like terms: 100 + 56.25 = 156.25
56.25 + 15x + x2 = 156.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 7.5)(x + 7.5) = 156.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 12.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 7.5) equal to 12.5 and -12.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 7.5 = 12.5 Simplifying x + 7.5 = 12.5 Reorder the terms: 7.5 + x = 12.5 Solving 7.5 + x = 12.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7.5' to each side of the equation. 7.5 + -7.5 + x = 12.5 + -7.5 Combine like terms: 7.5 + -7.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 12.5 + -7.5 x = 12.5 + -7.5 Combine like terms: 12.5 + -7.5 = 5 x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Subproblem 2

x + 7.5 = -12.5 Simplifying x + 7.5 = -12.5 Reorder the terms: 7.5 + x = -12.5 Solving 7.5 + x = -12.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-7.5' to each side of the equation. 7.5 + -7.5 + x = -12.5 + -7.5 Combine like terms: 7.5 + -7.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -12.5 + -7.5 x = -12.5 + -7.5 Combine like terms: -12.5 + -7.5 = -20 x = -20 Simplifying x = -20

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {5, -20}
