Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '0.5'.
-120 + 2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '120' to each side of the equation.
-120 + 2x + 120 + x2 = 0 + 120

Reorder the terms:
-120 + 120 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 120

Combine like terms: -120 + 120 = 0
0 + 2x + x2 = 0 + 120
2x + x2 = 0 + 120

Combine like terms: 0 + 120 = 120
2x + x2 = 120

The x term is x.  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.
2x + 0.25 + x2 = 120 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 2x + x2 = 120 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 120 + 0.25 = 120.25
0.25 + 2x + x2 = 120.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = 120.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 10.9658561

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 10.9658561 and -10.9658561.
