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

Divide each side by '-0.4'.
-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 2x.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2x + 1 + x2 = 120 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2x + x2 = 120 + 1

Combine like terms: 120 + 1 = 121
1 + 2x + x2 = 121

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 1)(x + 1) = 121

Calculate the square root of the right side: 11

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1) equal to 11 and -11.

Subproblem 1

x + 1 = 11 Simplifying x + 1 = 11 Reorder the terms: 1 + x = 11 Solving 1 + x = 11 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = 11 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 11 + -1 x = 11 + -1 Combine like terms: 11 + -1 = 10 x = 10 Simplifying x = 10

Subproblem 2

x + 1 = -11 Simplifying x + 1 = -11 Reorder the terms: 1 + x = -11 Solving 1 + x = -11 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = -11 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = -11 + -1 x = -11 + -1 Combine like terms: -11 + -1 = -12 x = -12 Simplifying x = -12

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {10, -12}
