Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '0.8'.
-750 + -5x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '750' to each side of the equation.
-750 + -5x + 750 + x2 = 0 + 750

Reorder the terms:
-750 + 750 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 750

Combine like terms: -750 + 750 = 0
0 + -5x + x2 = 0 + 750
-5x + x2 = 0 + 750

Combine like terms: 0 + 750 = 750
-5x + x2 = 750

The x term is -5x.  Take half its coefficient (-2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
-5x + 6.25 + x2 = 750 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + -5x + x2 = 750 + 6.25

Combine like terms: 750 + 6.25 = 756.25
6.25 + -5x + x2 = 756.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2.5)(x + -2.5) = 756.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 27.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -2.5) equal to 27.5 and -27.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -2.5 = 27.5 Simplifying x + -2.5 = 27.5 Reorder the terms: -2.5 + x = 27.5 Solving -2.5 + x = 27.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.5' to each side of the equation. -2.5 + 2.5 + x = 27.5 + 2.5 Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 27.5 + 2.5 x = 27.5 + 2.5 Combine like terms: 27.5 + 2.5 = 30 x = 30 Simplifying x = 30

Subproblem 2

x + -2.5 = -27.5 Simplifying x + -2.5 = -27.5 Reorder the terms: -2.5 + x = -27.5 Solving -2.5 + x = -27.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2.5' to each side of the equation. -2.5 + 2.5 + x = -27.5 + 2.5 Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -27.5 + 2.5 x = -27.5 + 2.5 Combine like terms: -27.5 + 2.5 = -25 x = -25 Simplifying x = -25

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {30, -25}
