Solution for 0.2=0.5*x*(10+x) equation:


Simplifying
0.2 = 0.5x(10 + x)
0.2 = (10 * 0.5x + x * 0.5x)
0.2 = (5x + 0.5x2)

Solving
0.2 = 5x + 0.5x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -5x + -0.5x2 = 5x + -5x + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
0.2 + -5x + -0.5x2 = 0 + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2
0.2 + -5x + -0.5x2 = 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: 0.5x2 + -0.5x2 = 0.0
0.2 + -5x + -0.5x2 = 0.0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-0.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
-0.4 + 10x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + 10x + 0.4 + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + 10x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 10x + x2 = 0 + 0.4
10x + x2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
10x + x2 = 0.4

The x term is 10x.  Take half its coefficient (5).
Square it (25) and add it to both sides.

Add '25' to each side of the equation.
10x + 25 + x2 = 0.4 + 25

Reorder the terms:
25 + 10x + x2 = 0.4 + 25

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 25 = 25.4
25 + 10x + x2 = 25.4

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 5)(x + 5) = 25.4
