Solving
0 = 40 + -1x + 0.5x2

Solving for variable 'x'.

Combine like terms: 0 + -40 = -40
-40 + x + -0.5x2 = 40 + -1x + 0.5x2 + -40 + x + -0.5x2

Reorder the terms:
-40 + x + -0.5x2 = 40 + -40 + -1x + x + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0
-40 + x + -0.5x2 = 0 + -1x + x + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2
-40 + x + -0.5x2 = -1x + x + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0
-40 + x + -0.5x2 = 0 + 0.5x2 + -0.5x2
-40 + x + -0.5x2 = 0.5x2 + -0.5x2

Combine like terms: 0.5x2 + -0.5x2 = 0.0
-40 + x + -0.5x2 = 0.0

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

Divide each side by '-0.5'.
80 + -2x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-80' to each side of the equation.
80 + -2x + -80 + x2 = 0 + -80

Reorder the terms:
80 + -80 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 80 + -80 = 0
0 + -2x + x2 = 0 + -80
-2x + x2 = 0 + -80

Combine like terms: 0 + -80 = -80
-2x + x2 = -80

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 = -80 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -2x + x2 = -80 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -80 + 0.25 = -79.75
0.25 + -2x + x2 = -79.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = -79.75

Can't calculate square root of the right side.

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
