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

Divide each side by '10'.
-0.2 + -0.5X + X2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + -0.5X + 0.2 + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + -0.5X + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.5X + X2 = 0 + 0.2
-0.5X + X2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
-0.5X + X2 = 0.2

The X term is -0.5X.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5X + 0.0625 + X2 = 0.2 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5X + X2 = 0.2 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.0625 = 0.2625
0.0625 + -0.5X + X2 = 0.2625
