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

Divide each side by '0.25'.
-3.6 + -0.2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.6' to each side of the equation.
-3.6 + -0.2x + 3.6 + x2 = 0 + 3.6

Reorder the terms:
-3.6 + 3.6 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: -3.6 + 3.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 3.6
-0.2x + x2 = 0 + 3.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.6 = 3.6
-0.2x + x2 = 3.6

The x term is -0.2x.  Take half its coefficient (-0.1).
Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.01' to each side of the equation.
-0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 3.6 + 0.01

Reorder the terms:
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 3.6 + 0.01

Combine like terms: 3.6 + 0.01 = 3.61
0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 3.61

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -0.1)(x + -0.1) = 3.61

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.9

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.1) equal to 1.9 and -1.9.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.1 = 1.9 Simplifying x + -0.1 = 1.9 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + x = 1.9 Solving -0.1 + x = 1.9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + x = 1.9 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.9 + 0.1 x = 1.9 + 0.1 Combine like terms: 1.9 + 0.1 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Subproblem 2

x + -0.1 = -1.9 Simplifying x + -0.1 = -1.9 Reorder the terms: -0.1 + x = -1.9 Solving -0.1 + x = -1.9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.1' to each side of the equation. -0.1 + 0.1 + x = -1.9 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -0.1 + 0.1 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.9 + 0.1 x = -1.9 + 0.1 Combine like terms: -1.9 + 0.1 = -1.8 x = -1.8 Simplifying x = -1.8

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2, -1.8}
