Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-1.25 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-1.25'.
20 + -12x + x2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -12x + -20 + x2 = 0 + -20

Reorder the terms:
20 + -20 + -12x + x2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + -12x + x2 = 0 + -20
-12x + x2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20
-12x + x2 = -20

The x term is -12x.  Take half its coefficient (-6).
Square it (36) and add it to both sides.

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-12x + 36 + x2 = -20 + 36

Reorder the terms:
36 + -12x + x2 = -20 + 36

Combine like terms: -20 + 36 = 16
36 + -12x + x2 = 16

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x + -6)(x + -6) = 16

Calculate the square root of the right side: 4

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -6) equal to 4 and -4.

Subproblem 1

x + -6 = 4 Simplifying x + -6 = 4 Reorder the terms: -6 + x = 4 Solving -6 + x = 4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '6' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6 + x = 4 + 6 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + x = 4 + 6 x = 4 + 6 Combine like terms: 4 + 6 = 10 x = 10 Simplifying x = 10

Subproblem 2

x + -6 = -4 Simplifying x + -6 = -4 Reorder the terms: -6 + x = -4 Solving -6 + x = -4 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '6' to each side of the equation. -6 + 6 + x = -4 + 6 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 0 + x = -4 + 6 x = -4 + 6 Combine like terms: -4 + 6 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {10, 2}
