Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '0.02'.
-1000 + -15x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1000' to each side of the equation.
-1000 + -15x + 1000 + x2 = 0 + 1000

Reorder the terms:
-1000 + 1000 + -15x + x2 = 0 + 1000

Combine like terms: -1000 + 1000 = 0
0 + -15x + x2 = 0 + 1000
-15x + x2 = 0 + 1000

Combine like terms: 0 + 1000 = 1000
-15x + x2 = 1000

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 = 1000 + 56.25

Reorder the terms:
56.25 + -15x + x2 = 1000 + 56.25

Combine like terms: 1000 + 56.25 = 1056.25
56.25 + -15x + x2 = 1056.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -7.5)(x + -7.5) = 1056.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 32.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -7.5) equal to 32.5 and -32.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -7.5 = 32.5 Simplifying x + -7.5 = 32.5 Reorder the terms: -7.5 + x = 32.5 Solving -7.5 + x = 32.5 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 = 32.5 + 7.5 Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 32.5 + 7.5 x = 32.5 + 7.5 Combine like terms: 32.5 + 7.5 = 40 x = 40 Simplifying x = 40

Subproblem 2

x + -7.5 = -32.5 Simplifying x + -7.5 = -32.5 Reorder the terms: -7.5 + x = -32.5 Solving -7.5 + x = -32.5 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 = -32.5 + 7.5 Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -32.5 + 7.5 x = -32.5 + 7.5 Combine like terms: -32.5 + 7.5 = -25 x = -25 Simplifying x = -25

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {40, -25}
