Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '0.25'.
-42 + -1x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '42' to each side of the equation.
-42 + -1x + 42 + x2 = 0 + 42

Reorder the terms:
-42 + 42 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 42

Combine like terms: -42 + 42 = 0
0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 42
-1x + x2 = 0 + 42

Combine like terms: 0 + 42 = 42
-1x + x2 = 42

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 = 42 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 42 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 42 + 0.25 = 42.25
0.25 + -1x + x2 = 42.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 42.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.5) equal to 6.5 and -6.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.5 = 6.5 Simplifying x + -0.5 = 6.5 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = 6.5 Solving -0.5 + x = 6.5 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 = 6.5 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 6.5 + 0.5 x = 6.5 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 6.5 + 0.5 = 7 x = 7 Simplifying x = 7

Subproblem 2

x + -0.5 = -6.5 Simplifying x + -0.5 = -6.5 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = -6.5 Solving -0.5 + x = -6.5 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 = -6.5 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -6.5 + 0.5 x = -6.5 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -6.5 + 0.5 = -6 x = -6 Simplifying x = -6

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {7, -6}
