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

Divide each side by '0.4'.
-175 + 7.5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '175' to each side of the equation.
-175 + 7.5x + 175 + x2 = 0 + 175

Reorder the terms:
-175 + 175 + 7.5x + x2 = 0 + 175

Combine like terms: -175 + 175 = 0
0 + 7.5x + x2 = 0 + 175
7.5x + x2 = 0 + 175

Combine like terms: 0 + 175 = 175
7.5x + x2 = 175

The x term is 7.5x.  Take half its coefficient (3.75).
Square it (14.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '14.0625' to each side of the equation.
7.5x + 14.0625 + x2 = 175 + 14.0625

Reorder the terms:
14.0625 + 7.5x + x2 = 175 + 14.0625

Combine like terms: 175 + 14.0625 = 189.0625
14.0625 + 7.5x + x2 = 189.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 3.75)(x + 3.75) = 189.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 13.75

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 3.75) equal to 13.75 and -13.75.

Subproblem 1

x + 3.75 = 13.75 Simplifying x + 3.75 = 13.75 Reorder the terms: 3.75 + x = 13.75 Solving 3.75 + x = 13.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.75' to each side of the equation. 3.75 + -3.75 + x = 13.75 + -3.75 Combine like terms: 3.75 + -3.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 13.75 + -3.75 x = 13.75 + -3.75 Combine like terms: 13.75 + -3.75 = 10 x = 10 Simplifying x = 10

Subproblem 2

x + 3.75 = -13.75 Simplifying x + 3.75 = -13.75 Reorder the terms: 3.75 + x = -13.75 Solving 3.75 + x = -13.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.75' to each side of the equation. 3.75 + -3.75 + x = -13.75 + -3.75 Combine like terms: 3.75 + -3.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -13.75 + -3.75 x = -13.75 + -3.75 Combine like terms: -13.75 + -3.75 = -17.5 x = -17.5 Simplifying x = -17.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {10, -17.5}
