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

Divide each side by '0.1'.
100 + -40x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-100' to each side of the equation.
100 + -40x + -100 + x2 = 0 + -100

Reorder the terms:
100 + -100 + -40x + x2 = 0 + -100
