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'.
-4 + 4.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4.2x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + 4.2x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + 4.2x + x2 = 0 + 4
4.2x + x2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
4.2x + x2 = 4

The x term is 4.2x.  Take half its coefficient (2.1).
Square it (4.41) and add it to both sides.

Add '4.41' to each side of the equation.
4.2x + 4.41 + x2 = 4 + 4.41

Reorder the terms:
4.41 + 4.2x + x2 = 4 + 4.41

Combine like terms: 4 + 4.41 = 8.41
4.41 + 4.2x + x2 = 8.41

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 2.1)(x + 2.1) = 8.41

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.9

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 2.1) equal to 2.9 and -2.9.

Subproblem 1

x + 2.1 = 2.9 Simplifying x + 2.1 = 2.9 Reorder the terms: 2.1 + x = 2.9 Solving 2.1 + x = 2.9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.1' to each side of the equation. 2.1 + -2.1 + x = 2.9 + -2.1 Combine like terms: 2.1 + -2.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 2.9 + -2.1 x = 2.9 + -2.1 Combine like terms: 2.9 + -2.1 = 0.8 x = 0.8 Simplifying x = 0.8

Subproblem 2

x + 2.1 = -2.9 Simplifying x + 2.1 = -2.9 Reorder the terms: 2.1 + x = -2.9 Solving 2.1 + x = -2.9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.1' to each side of the equation. 2.1 + -2.1 + x = -2.9 + -2.1 Combine like terms: 2.1 + -2.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -2.9 + -2.1 x = -2.9 + -2.1 Combine like terms: -2.9 + -2.1 = -5 x = -5 Simplifying x = -5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.8, -5}
