Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '0.08'.
-143.75 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '143.75' to each side of the equation.
-143.75 + -1x + 143.75 + x2 = 0 + 143.75

Reorder the terms:
-143.75 + 143.75 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 143.75

Combine like terms: -143.75 + 143.75 = 0.00
0.00 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 143.75
-1x + x2 = 0 + 143.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 143.75 = 143.75
-1x + x2 = 143.75

The x term is -1x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1x + 0.25 + x2 = 143.75 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 143.75 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 143.75 + 0.25 = 144
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 144

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 144

Calculate the square root of the right side: 12

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.5) equal to 12 and -12.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.5 = 12 Simplifying x + -0.5 = 12 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = 12 Solving -0.5 + x = 12 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + x = 12 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 12 + 0.5 x = 12 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 12 + 0.5 = 12.5 x = 12.5 Simplifying x = 12.5

Subproblem 2

x + -0.5 = -12 Simplifying x + -0.5 = -12 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = -12 Solving -0.5 + x = -12 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + x = -12 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -12 + 0.5 x = -12 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -12 + 0.5 = -11.5 x = -11.5 Simplifying x = -11.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {12.5, -11.5}
