Simplifying
0 = -7.5(x2 + -4x + -320)

Reorder the terms:
0 = -7.5(-320 + -4x + x2)
0 = (-320 * -7.5 + -4x * -7.5 + x2 * -7.5)
0 = (2400 + 30x + -7.5x2)

Solving
0 = 2400 + 30x + -7.5x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 0 + -2400 = -2400
-2400 + -30x + 7.5x2 = 2400 + 30x + -7.5x2 + -2400 + -30x + 7.5x2

Reorder the terms:
-2400 + -30x + 7.5x2 = 2400 + -2400 + 30x + -30x + -7.5x2 + 7.5x2

Combine like terms: 2400 + -2400 = 0
-2400 + -30x + 7.5x2 = 0 + 30x + -30x + -7.5x2 + 7.5x2
-2400 + -30x + 7.5x2 = 30x + -30x + -7.5x2 + 7.5x2

Combine like terms: 30x + -30x = 0
-2400 + -30x + 7.5x2 = 0 + -7.5x2 + 7.5x2
-2400 + -30x + 7.5x2 = -7.5x2 + 7.5x2

Combine like terms: -7.5x2 + 7.5x2 = 0.0
-2400 + -30x + 7.5x2 = 0.0

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

Divide each side by '7.5'.
-320 + -4x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '320' to each side of the equation.
-320 + -4x + 320 + x2 = 0 + 320

Reorder the terms:
-320 + 320 + -4x + x2 = 0 + 320

Combine like terms: -320 + 320 = 0
0 + -4x + x2 = 0 + 320
-4x + x2 = 0 + 320

Combine like terms: 0 + 320 = 320
-4x + x2 = 320

The x term is -4x.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4x + 4 + x2 = 320 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4x + x2 = 320 + 4

Combine like terms: 320 + 4 = 324
4 + -4x + x2 = 324

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -2)(x + -2) = 324

Calculate the square root of the right side: 18

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -2) equal to 18 and -18.

Subproblem 1

x + -2 = 18 Simplifying x + -2 = 18 Reorder the terms: -2 + x = 18 Solving -2 + x = 18 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + x = 18 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + x = 18 + 2 x = 18 + 2 Combine like terms: 18 + 2 = 20 x = 20 Simplifying x = 20

Subproblem 2

x + -2 = -18 Simplifying x + -2 = -18 Reorder the terms: -2 + x = -18 Solving -2 + x = -18 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + x = -18 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + x = -18 + 2 x = -18 + 2 Combine like terms: -18 + 2 = -16 x = -16 Simplifying x = -16

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {20, -16}
